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
