In Norse mythology’s Ragnarok, Brimir is a named hall associated with the renewed world after the catastrophe.
The name appears in Völuspá in a vision of the world after Ragnarok. Brimir is described as a hall with plentiful drink, suggesting a place of abundance and refuge after the old cosmic order has been destroyed. The poem’s imagery contrasts this kind of welcoming hall with Náströnd, a grim place associated with punishment.
Brimir is sometimes confused with Gimlé because both are connected with the post-Ragnarok world and both are presented positively. The surviving texts, however, name them separately. Medieval manuscripts and later interpretations do not always make the relationship between the halls completely clear.
Brimir is also the name of a giant in some mythological passages, which adds another source of confusion. In a Ragnarok question, the intended answer is the hall described in the prophecy of the renewed earth, not the giant’s name.
