The Avenging God Váli
Váli, born of Odin and Rindr, stands as a testament to the Norse ideals of fate and vengeance. His birth was not a happenstance but a calculated response to the cosmic imbalance wrought by the death of his half-brother, Baldr. Prophesied to avenge this death, Váli grew to full strength within a single day, embodying the urgency and inevitability of his purpose. Without pausing for ritual or rest, he fulfilled his destiny by slaying Höðr, the unwitting instrument of Baldr’s demise. Váli’s existence is a powerful reminder of the Norse belief in the sanctity of fate and the weight of divine purpose. His survival beyond Ragnarök cements his role as both an avenger and a symbol of renewal.
