After the war of the gods, Thrud rules the Aesir and revives Alviss, once turned to stone for offending Zeus, raising him to godhood. He pledges loyalty. When wounded Thrud returns, she finds him with envoy Levia wearing her crown and wedding ring. Alviss says she cared for him and was made envoy. When Levia drops the ring, Thrud snaps, strikes her, strips her title, and banishes her.
