I hung upon the World Tree, Yggdrasil, for nine long days and nine long nights. Wounded by my own spear, sacrificed to myself, I gave up my eye for a glimpse of the knowledge that lies beyond, for the wisdom of the ages. The secrets of the runes, the truths of the cosmos—these do not come without cost. I endured the pain, the torment, for power greater than any mortal or god could imagine. All to see the future, to prepare for what is to come. The price was steep, but I paid it gladly, for it is through sacrifice that we find true understanding. And now, I alone hold the key to what will be, to Ragnarok and beyond."
