The Horses of Dawn

🐎 🌅 Before the world knew sunrise, before seasons found their rhythm, two horses carried the light of creation across the sky. In Norse mythology, *Árvakr ("Early Awake")* and *Alsviðr ("Very Swift")* pull the chariot of *Sól**, racing across the heavens each day while the wolf **Sköll* hunts relentlessly behind them. Mentioned in the *Prose Edda*, these legendary horses are among the most important yet overlooked figures in Norse cosmology. *"The Horses of Dawn"* is told from **Týr's perspective**, honoring the tireless duty of the steeds who bring daylight to gods and mortals alike. While kings boast, heroes fall, and Ragnarök approaches, Árvakr and Alsviðr simply keep running. ⚔️ Inspired by the **Poetic Edda**, **Prose Edda**, Norse mythology, Viking lore, and the ancient stories of the Nine Realms.
