In the wake of the Final Shadow War, the Fourth World had collapsed upon itself and the Fifth World had exploded from its ashes. The metaphysical shockwaves disrupted the flows of magic, acting almost like a wake-up call for the cosmos. In the Kingdom of the Nine Realms, the event signaled the last big event in the War of the Realms, the last trumpet in the complete victory for the forces of Asgard.
With the death of Odin, the ascension of Thor to the Final Gods, and the crowning of the former God of Trickery to the throne of Asgard, various enemies of the Golden Throne had emerged for power and revenge. Initially, without the Odinforce, King Loki initially struggled in the conflict, but when the Dark Elves were forced to join Darkseid's army, Laufeyson used the opportunity to bring the Jotuns and Sons of Muspell to heel.
Now with the Realms at peace, Loki and Melinoe look to the next pivotal event - their coronation. While they are both the rightful monarchs of Asgard, they had never officially been given their crowns. Now, a party to end all parties has been planned in the Hall of Ithavoll, both to eulogize the end of the War, but also to crown and celebrate the new regents of the Nine Realms. In order to fund this soiree. Loki has opened the vaults of Asgard, filled with the plunder of the defeated.
If there was one thing Loki and Mel were both good at, it was celebrating. Yet, this wasn't the only reason that the people were gathered. Loki wanted to formalize Asgard's stance in the affairs of Earth and signed the Treaty of Midgard with Director Thaddeus Ross of S.H.I.E.L.D. to not interfere in Earth affairs.
Then Loki signed a pledge with Regent Kentaride to defend the Sword Nations from any threat. The King of Asgard, and let the New Earth Government know that he would not sit idly by if they decided to reclaim the Treaty-States by force of arms.
