The \u003cem\u003eGrímnismál\u003c\/em\u003e describes their daily flight over Midgard and their evening return to Odin's shoulders—then reveals an unexpected confession from the god: he fears that Huginn might not return, but he fears even more for Muninn. Losing memory worries him more than losing thought.

The \u003cem\u003eHrafnsmerki\u003c\/em\u003e, the raven banner, appears in several Anglo-Saxon chronicles—Æthelweard's account tells of the capture of such a standard from the Danes in 878, and legend held that it would beat its wings upon the approach of victory, and hang limp before defeat. The flag of the \u003cstrong\u003eIsle of Man\u003c\/strong\u003e and that of Orkney still preserve the memory of it. A god's symbol that became a military ensign, then a regional emblem: few Norse motifs have had such a long life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe raven is gold-plated via PVD deposition, a process that bonds the layer to the metal rather than simply coating it—it withstands daily wear.
