actually.. His name is Loke. At least where I live, and I live in the land of these gods.. x)) I've never heard him being called Loki before. Maybe that's his international name? It does fit with Közi's image, I have to admit it's a god idea.. If only his name was Loki and not Loke xP I've always thought Loki N' Roll was just some kind of engrish...

Pierrot wrote:Loki was the sole reason why the Ragnarok arrived, because he made a blind god kill his brother (another god). That was merely his only role.
Now if that's what your representation of közi is, it's a sick joke.
(Emphasis mine)Wikipedia wrote:Even though Loki may have been a liability to Gods (leading to the death of Baldr, the birth of Fenris and other monsters that would eventually engulf the world), he provided the Gods with all their magical artifacts from Thor's hammer to the flying ships, and these artifacts help the Gods ultimately defeat evil. He leads to the birth of Ragnarok, but also provides the means to overcome it.
((Emphasis once again, mine.))Wikipedia wrote:In Norse mythology, Ragnarök ("fate of the gods"[1]) is the battle at the end of the world. It would be waged between the gods (the Æsir, led by Odin) and their aggressors (the fire giants, the Jotuns and various monsters, led by Loki). Not only will some of the gods, giants, and monsters perish in this apocalyptic conflagration, but almost everything in the universe will be torn asunder.
In Viking warrior societies, dying in battle is admirable. This is carried over into the worship of a pantheon in which the gods themselves will one day be overthrown at Ragnarök. Exactly what will happen, who will fight whom, and the fates of the participants in this battle are well known to the Norse peoples from their own sagas and skaldic poetry. The Völuspá — prophecy of the völva (sybil), the first lay of the Poetic Edda, dating from about 1000 AD — spans the history of the gods, from the beginning of time to Ragnarök, in 65 stanzas. The Prose Edda, written two centuries later by Snorri Sturluson, describes in detail what would take place before, during, and even after the battle.
What is unique about Ragnarök as an eschatological myth is its emphasis on the idea that the gods already know through prophecy what is going to happen: when the event will occur, who will be slain by whom, and so forth. They even realize that they are powerless to prevent Ragnarök. But they will still bravely and defiantly face their bleak destiny. This is thought by many scholars to represent the ordered world (the Æsir) eventually succumbing to the unavoidable forces of chaos and entropy (the Giants). This is similar to the representation of the monstrous children of Uranus in Greek mythology as the primordial forces of chaos.

Actually I've never seen it spelt with an e, so it must be an international thing. I don't know much of myths but every where I've seen it mentioned was with and I. I'm not sure though. *shrugs*
