Heimdallr Socks

After Jormungandr, Oden and Frigg now meet Heimdallr, guardian of the burning rainbow bridge called Bifrost, which links Midgard, our world, to the seat of the Gods in Asgard. Heimdallr will sound the horn Gjallrhorn when the end of the world Ragnarök is upon us  and fight in the last battle alongside the Norse warriors and gods
