Domain

  Guardianship, Warrior, Honour
  Loki’s domain is not chaos for its own sake. It exists to ensure the universe has defenders capable of acting when its systems fail.
 

Valhalla

  Valhalla is an academy and proving ground.
  Souls bound to Valhalla are:
  trained to become Guardians of the Universe (known as Watchers)
  exposed to conflict, hardship, and ethical dilemmas
  taught to endure without losing identity or agency
  Suffering is not the goal — readiness is.
 

Souls Bound to Loki

  Souls arrive in Valhalla because they:
  possess resilience
  demonstrate refusal to submit to annihilation
  are capable of growth under pressure
  Loki does not choose these souls. They belong to Valhalla by nature.
 

Governance

  Loki governs as:
  strategist
  examiner
  overseer of curriculum
  He designs trials that:
  expose weakness without destroying the soul
  test judgement as much as strength
  prepare souls for intervention beyond Valhalla
  He does not offer comfort. He offers clarity.
  Conduit Loki communes with mortals only through his Conduit, in accordance with cosmic law.
  Communication is:
  deliberate
  rare
  focused on readiness rather than reassurance
 

Known Relationships

  Demetria — Mutual respect
  Both prioritise balance, through different methods.
  Leoy — Wary acknowledgment
  Loki recognises the necessity of her actions, but does not excuse them.
  Other Overlords — Strategic equals
  Loki’s role is often invoked in times of cosmic threat.
  In-World Understanding
  Loki is commonly misunderstood as:
  cruel
  manipulative
  destructive
  In truth, he is feared because:
  he does not shield others from the cost of survival
  he prepares souls for realities others refuse to face
  Valhalla is not kind. It is necessary.
