Also if I may help shed light (no pun intended) on the Voluspa command. Völuspá is actually an ancient Nordic prophecy and poem which tell of a time in which in which essentially a God that went by the name of Æsir created a golden age for man in which he (Æsir) was wealthy and safe until three Giants that go by the name Jötunhemir come around and effectively put an end to the dark age seeing this Æsir creates little dwarves as they are called in the story (supposedly us guardians). In the other version of the story Thor in place of Æsir actually battles the evil and wins but is only able to take seven steps afterwards before collapsing... Coincidence I think not considering the Gjallarhorn is also an ancient Nordic myth this is hard to overlook and points to the fact that Rasputin had to have been aware that traveler would raise the guardians so he caused an extinction level event to stop the darkness just enough! Hope this helps.
