the trolls have new allies (but he does not say who);
"More is at stake than elves or trolls know" (The Broken Sword, p. 84) (but he does not say what);
"The Norns spin many a thread to its end these days" (ibid.) (but he does not say whose).
Skafloc is not living in "the End Times," because there are no such "Times," but it seems that he is living in a time of endings.
Some of our contemporaries think that there must be conflict in the Middle East because that will initiate Armageddon which will have a good outcome for them. Meanwhile, Skafloc has been warned that, in his period, many lives or destinies will end. Tyr adds:
"'Therefore I, the war-wager, am on earth.'" (ibid.)

Kaor, Paul!
I would think the rise of Christianity would be more than enough to "trouble" the Scandinavian pagan "gods." Even Odin could not endure the Name of Christ and was forced to flee.
It's not just some Protestants apocalypticists who wants to bring on Armageddon. Shia millennialists have similar desires.
