[ Just before noon on what is otherwise a normal enough day, if not still graced by the unnatural heat from Muspellheim's explosion, a low rumbling will start across the city. Those that've been in Asgard for some time now might recognise it from the last two earthquakes, and may think to shrug it off as easily as those minor shakes that lasted hardly a few seconds.

But this one grows in strength near immediately, and the Holy City is not built to withstand earthquakes. In fact, by the look of panic on the native's faces as the flood to the streets, it might be safe to say they've never seen one before at all.

This quake clocks in just over a minute and would rank near a 6.0 on the Richter scale. Buildings will shift and splinter, glass panes shatter and there will be moderate to significant damage crumbling smaller structures; the Welcome Halls will not be structurally impaired but objects and appliances inside the buildings will be in varying states of disorder and/or destruction; a few slight cracks will appear in the earth around the city that aren't terribly deep but will still cause imbalances and dangerous ground in several places; etc etc.

Anyone that does not evacuate crumbling buildings or get to safe ground during the quake may receive moderate to severe injuries, but the death toll should be reserved to only a handful of Natives in poorly designed structures. Relief efforts will begin immediately following the quake, so now is a good time to get outside and lend a hand to your neighbour.

Later in the evening, after things have had some time to calm down, characters that have psychic / precognitive / telepathic / spiritual abilities in their canon will begin to hear the whispers of the Norn. Just before midnight, all Travellers will be able to hear their murmurings of 'It won't stop' until at the strike of midnight, they collectively say 'This is only the beginning' at once.

The final message and the new prophecy of Ragnarok will ring clearly throughout everyone's minds.

"The End has yet to pass as it has been told from the Beginning. The sands are slipping through the cracks left behind. The world tree is decaying.

Nurture or burn. A decision must be reached, or the mother will decide for you. It will not stop, and this is only the beginning."

Following this ominous message, everyone will be left to their own devices. For now ... ]
