Lore

Baldr is the radiant god of light, beauty, and purity in Norse mythology, son of Odin and Frigg. Beloved by all, he was made invulnerable to everything except mistletoe, which Frigg overlooked. Loki tricked Hodr into killing Baldr with a mistletoe arrow, causing universal grief and Frigg's quest to retrieve him from Hel. Baldr's death foreshadows Ragnarök, but he is destined to return afterward, symbolizing renewal and hope. His tragic fate represents innocence lost, the inevitability of doom, and the promise of rebirth in Norse cosmology.
