The Twins



Jarl Vader, Son of Muspelheim

My take on Lord Vader, transposed to the Viking Age.

In Norse mythology, the Jǫtunn Surtr (the black one) will lead Muspelheim's sons to Ragnarök. He will "ride in front, and both before and behind him there will be burning fire [...] Light will shine from [his sword] more brightly than from the sun." "In Surtur's grasp the Sword of Revenge blazes, adding a blood red colour to the twilight of the whole world." He will defeat all of the [remaining] Æsir (the "good guys"), his fire will burn all of the heavens and the earth, save for those that sought refuge in the woods Hoddmímis holt.
