Wolves of the End - Music

Symbolism: Represents chaos and destruction, as he is prophesied to bring about the downfall of the gods during Ragnarok.

2. Sköll
Role: One of Fenrir’s children, Sköll is a wolf who chases the sun (Sól) through the sky.
Symbolism: Represents the relentless pursuit of light and the cycle of time. His chase ensures that day transitions to night.
Fate: At Ragnarok, Sköll is destined to catch and devour the sun, plunging the world into darkness and marking the beginning of the end.
3. Hati
Role: Sköll’s sibling, Hati chases the moon (Máni) across the heavens.
Symbolism: Mirrors Sköll in representing inevitability, though Hati's hunt is tied to the moon and the rhythm of the night.
