The surviving gods meet, discuss the past, and plan for the future and the new world.

Voluspa - Norse Mythology Book - Verse 60-61

“The gods in Ithavoll |  meet together,

Of the terrible girdler |  of earth they talk,

And the mighty past |  they call to mind,

And the ancient runes |  of the Ruler of Gods.”

“In wondrous beauty |  once again

Shall the golden tables |  stand mid the grass,

Which the gods had owned |  in the days of old,

—.”

Bellows Translation
