The Book of Yggdrasil; Translated

Sadly the Book of Yggdrasil is only glimpsed in fragments and seemingly, not many of the pages actually align in a linear chronology. That said, I’ve arranged these translations in the best chronological order I could make out. You might also notice I’ve capitalised the “D” in death on the second translation. This is because I believe it’s talking about the cosmic entity and not the state of existence. I’ll have a post explaining that at a later stage.

– The Birth of the Nine Realms:

From out of the cold darkness of the universe came forth the first dawn of light. Born out of a spark of golden energy the ethereal light filled the far reaches of the universe. The majesty of the immaculate aurora heralded the creation of the nine realms and banished all…

– The birth of light shattered the darkness, bringing Death to the Dark Elves.

1) The Elves fought the light that radiated from Asgard. They built a weapon out of the darkness and unleashed the dark power of the Aether across the Nine Realms, inflicting the torment of war…

2) Svartalfheim: The Genesis of the Aether.

I translated these to help with my research into Yggdrasil, the Dark Elves and the Infinity Stones. I figured I’d put them all up here, because the only page I found fully translated on the internet was the one about the Dark Elves creating the Aether. So if you fancy looking into it yourself, right here’s a bit of a starting point!
