Apocalypse
Unveiling or end-time speech. John’s Apocalypse and other endings are separate books, not one generic doom.
Norse tradition
Apocalypse appears in Norse tradition.
The Poetic Edda’s end-speech seats world-ending among Ragnarök neighbors. A named apocalypse class in that corpus, not ragnarok as the specific end already filed and not a modern disaster dump.

Apocalypse is associated with Half.
