- Of all the Old Norse mythical beings, Surtr is one of the oldest.
- His name is amongst those that are first to be documented, most famously in the Icelandic sagas, and the famed Prose Edda.
- Translated, Surtr’s name means literally “the black one” or “the swarthy one” and could be linked to his connection to fire.
- Surtr is foretold to be a critical figure in Ragnarök, the final battle in which the world gets destroyed.
- Carrying his great flaming sword, Surtr would go into battle against the Æsir, the Norse Gods, and personally fight the god Freyr.
- Following this, the flames he carries would engulf the whole world.
- In some sources, he is also connected with Muspelheim, a great realm of fire in Norse cosmology.
