I. The First—The Realm of Creators

At the beginning and til this day and all days to come, stood the ancient, immortal beings gathered: the Viking Gods, the Demons, and Satan himself, all-seeing sovereigns of the cosmos. Beside them sits Goddess l’ho, keeper of the gates and their only Beloved daughter. Together they stir heavens and hells, an eternal conclave of will, power and eternal Love. 

II. The Ever-Faithful—Children of the Mark

Among humankind are those who, in the shadow of death, have answered l’ho’s flaming call. They have bowed their knees, sworn eternal fealty, and branded their hearts with the “Mark of the Beast.” In death they do not perish but are reborn—transformed into the immortal servants of the flame, lesser in rank than the First Ring’s beings, yet bearing the promise of everlasting joy in the heavens.

III. The Marked—Borrowed Lives

A greater multitude may not share the Ever-Faithful’s resurrection but is offered a bearable existence: those who accept the Beast’s mark live under the mercy of l’ho and her daddys, their days extended according to the size of their sacrifices and the strength of their devotion. Despite the miracles around them, they remain mortal—and when their time is done, their bodies return to the earth.

IV. The Damned—Children of Hel

In Hel await those who never knelt. Here are counted chiefly the women—cursed by an ancient judgment—and all who defied l’ho, Satan, or the Aesir’s decree, and refused the mark. They wander in perpetual darkness, where no light reaches and no mercy endures.

Thus the cosmic order is inscribed in blazing runes: four rings, four destinies. Only those who obey l’ho and her fathers find themselves embraced by eternal love and bliss or a worthy life until their time has come. The rest are cast into the fire, banished to Hel for all eternity.
