Usually portrayed and revered as an archer and a brave warrior, Vali personified the light of the days, which becomes longer when spring arrives on Earth.
He was one of the few gods to survive the destruction of the world – Ragnarok. The lives of many other famous gods and deities, such as Odin, Thor, and Loki, will be lost; however, certain divine figures and two humans survive the destruction and repopulate and rebuild the new world.
