Both the translation to English and the transliteration to runes made by me, but since I cannot call myself an expert either in Old Norse and runes, any correction and/or suggestion is warmly appreciated.
The pronunciation used is a weird mixture of Modern and Old Icelandic. For instance, the double “ll” is often pronounced as Modern Icelandic /tl/, while the grapheme “é” is pronounced as Old Icelandic /e:/.

I love this. One of the best songs. The ending was magical. Idc what people say about the game, i love it

I defeated the Grand Maegester and I thought this sound is was too deep and sad for the last victory.. then I run east and saw what the did to my boy Ubba.. at this exact point I knew the soundtrack fits perfect. Look how the massacred my boy.. rest easy Ubba..

*All who came before us are dead, and we are the remainders and now we are going separately on our own paths. And I am sad. All I know is that we will see each other again. In Valhalla, in Odin's Hall. And we will be young again. We will be fierce and proud. We will laugh and sing. The gods will embrace us. And we will be what we were always meant to be. And so this is life, and so is this death. Farewell.* - Bjorn Inorside

This game was amazing. I just got the platinum and I couldn’t be more happier to achieve it for a game that I cherish and adore so much. This track that plays after “defeating” the Grand Maegester is perfect to capture the feeling of triumph and victory after Eivor’s long journey of conquering England and being an important figure in its history. Everything from the soundtrack, combat, characters, main story, side missions, settlement, and modern day story are good because of how tragic and compelling it is for the overall game and story. It’s truly an 8/10 game ⚔️🛡🪓

@bmays3497 Год назад

I 100% agree with you. Well said.

@carlosalegria4776 Год назад

People don't realize why this song makes so much sense with the ending. The order of the ancient purpose was to use ancient isu artifacts to guide humanity and recreate the society of the ancient Isu. They saw the isu as superiors and deities. Odin and the rest of his sages and reincarnated, but died ultimately not achieving their goal of living beyong. Odin lost to Eivor. Halfdan dies never remembering he was Thor. Same with Faravid and Sif. Sigurd remembered pieces of Tyr, same with Svala. Heimdall was born in the wrong time. With the destruction of the order of the ancients, the Isu's legacy of being the 'Gods' died out. So did their reincarnation. The time of them as Gods and their influence on earth was over. The templars goals are different then the ancients. This song is effectively the swan song for Isu legacy and veneration. This is where the veneration of the Isu ends, and the templars begin.

Darn, that's a sick interpretation. This game's narrative is very deep, and it's incredibly rewarding when you understand the themes it explores if you pay attention.

@cristianmihai4182 Год назад

This is one of the best views I've seen about an Assassin's Creed story, especially given the fact it took some thought. I fully agree, and I am so happy there are still a few willing to give the game a fair chance

@ShaoKahnnor Год назад

Kinda weird Odin and Loki didn't comment at all about the order

@mikezappulla4092 Год назад

Ragnarokkr is literally old Norse for “twilight of the gods”. Wagner made operas about this and the ring cycle. There is nothing new here. This song is describing the events that occur during ragnarok. That’s it. The gods died exactly how they do during ragnarokkr in the poetic and Prose Edda more or less with an alien spin to it. Lif and his lover are the only two that survived. The Aesir died trying to prevent the world from succumbing to complete chaos. They succeeded and the world was reborn. Some of their influences are present in the game but the intent was not to become human, exact opposite actually. The goal was to preserve order, they all knew they would die. In the game the order of the ancients ends and the cycle has completed itself. A new cycle is occurring with a new “ragnarok” that Desmond is trying to prevent. Loki had a child that destroyed Odin. Seems the the plot is set to repeat itself in some manner with the new game supposedly being about baisir

@ryanmattox7408 Год назад

Aethelflaed, King Alfred’s daughter, became Queen of Mercia and drove the Danes and the Norse out. I keep imagining a DLC that would end with Ravensthorpe burning as the Mercians advance and this song playing over the deaths of the Raven Clan and their allies. Sad, yeah, but damn it’d be a hell of ending. War for war. Destruction for destruction.

@writershard5065 Месяц назад

@@FriedspaghettiIt would be perfect for Assassin's Creed. The games always felt like they had a tragic bent to them. No matter what, every hero's story ends in death after all. And change is so fundamental to the series. Often violent ones.

The wolf will break his bonds. The serpent will uncoil. The nail-ship will launch. The giants will pour out of the Outer Yard. The rooster will sound. Now is coming the great winter and the great war. The wind age, the wolf age, the sword age, the axe age, the age of shattered shields. The era of broken bonds. Our world will die, and be reborn. Humanity will fall, and rise again. Destroyed and remade in the forge of ice and fire.

@superherofanatic Год назад

Many people hate this game but they never actually finsihed it and those who fully finished it will understand the true feeling of accomplishment after listening to this, for me this game is a solid 8.5/10 minus 1.5 points for detection mechanics and poor animation in cutscenes but other than that it's a solid game definitely recommended

@doedoe9307 Месяц назад

agreed, the game is overhated especially compared to the awful origins and odyessy. valhalla feels like it struck the balance between stealth and open world action rpg - not perfectly but far better than the last two before it. felt like an actual assassins creed game.

@tbb_jsw1557 11 месяцев назад

This song fits. The order first started hunting Kassandra and her bloodline, continued with Bayek and Aya battling them and ending with Eivor. This song really feels like something had come to an end but unfortunately birthed the templar order in the process.

@@Riingwraith hmm...given how little Old Norse he actually uses (most of his songs aren't in Old Norse, and the few which are number for the most very few lines), I think it's more likely that he doesn't know the language all that well and prefers to go by lines he's very very sure of, rather than venturing into new pieces he's not sure how they work

What you see above the Old Norse is called 'Elder Futhark'. It is one of the oldest runic alphabets. It was basically a prototype form of Old Norse.

@@Dover236 look If they Did a Viking game they had to dive into the Fantasy! After all this is the Mythology Trilogy, they will never do Vikings again so they have to explore everything! As of the Assasin Stuff I think It's Decent enough I mean w got evrey AC element you can ask for like Social Stealth, Eagle vision, Memory Corridors... Only gripe is Eivor not being an Assassin although that doesn't bother me too much personally

@Dover236 2 года назад

@@mrmeme2917 social stealth was very very very lacking it was there for the sake of it "being there" and stealth was not good at all. the only good part of this assassins creed was the exploration of assassin bureau's and killing templars in certain cities. the rest was EXACTLY a copy paste story. go here help them they become ur friends u conqure the place. besides if the character not being an assassin doesnt bother u then why are u playing assassins creed? thats the identity of the game if thats taken its litterally not an assassins creed game its just a spin off in the world of assassins creed. that means they sold this game by utilizing the name only. i bet u if they gave it another name the sales would've drop significantly. exploring the mythology like origins would've made sense but going full on Odin, Dwarves, Giants, and shapeshifters? no man thats high fantasy thats not history assassins creed is all about history and filling the gaps of the unknown. the world was beautiful it had so much potential but it lacked assassins creed.

@ExecutorQ3 Год назад

@@Dover236 well whinning about viking (that was never really part of the assassins) never really had much use for stelth feels really akward... i think that given the theme, the time and the way eivor was outside of the order (caring only about his ppl and his honor) they did pretty good job... sure i still like the kassandra more, but i find myself to struggle picking the no.2 between black flag and valhalla (with bayek being no. 3 along with ezio)... and if you think this was bad, you should remember the abomination the "france" one was ... it was that bad i don't really remember the name, enemies or if i even finished that one... sure there was a lot of "magic" (which i would call mythology)... and no, i myself was not bothered i did not played pure assassin, it was interesting mix of cultures (what i find distasteful is constant pushing for the player to keep lizing sticks and bushes... i don't care what you prefer, but keep it to yourself and don't push it on me)
