The Pedestal of Fimbulvetr was an ornate pedestal in Odin's Vault that held the Casket of Ancient Winters.
History[]
Odin's Vault[]
Having stolen the Casket of Ancient Winters at the end of the Asgard-Jotunheim War from the Frost Giant Laufey, the Asgardian king Odin hid the casket away in his vault. The casket was put on the Pedestal of Fimbulvetr, representing the fabled mighty winter that precedes Ragnarök.[1][2]
The pedestal would later be destroyed alongside the casket in 2017 during Ragnarök.[3]
