Baldur's Last Dream: The First Night of Ragnarök

Baldur dreams of his own death. His mother Frigg makes fire, water, metal, stone, sickness, beasts, and almost everything in creation promise not to harm him. The gods believe they have defeated the prophecy. Then Loki finds the one living thing nobody asked. This cinematic mythology episode follows Baldur's death through Baldur's Dreams, Völuspá, Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, skaldic funeral poetry, and Saxo Grammaticus. Where the medieval sources disagree, the episode keeps the versions separate rather than blending them into a false canon. The narration is original and does not quote copyrighted modern translations. Visual production should use verified public-domain, CC0, or properly attributed Creative Commons assets, plus original painterly imagery.
