Event
Fimbulwinter
The long winter and social collapse before Ragnarok, where successive winters begin the doom sequence.
Overview
Fimbulwinter begins Ragnarok through climate and human order at once. Chapter 51 says snow comes from all directions, three winters pass without summer, and kin harm kin as war spreads. It is not background weather, but the first evidence that the world’s patterns are failing.
