Actually, yes, they all die in the end. The interesting thing is that they all know how they will die. I think Odin is killed by the wolf Fenrir (anyone confirms? Ljós?) Well, almost all of them. This is why they actually "are not gods, but humans" (to quote Xenofanés).

But I think one god (maybe Thor) comes along and kills Fenrir with his bare hands...
Maybe we should consult Neithan Tol Turambar on this, after all he probably is an expert in this field "I did not explore Norse mythology until much later, and actually, have rejected my former religion in favor of Wotanism. My place in Vahalla is assured. I am a Warrior of the Rainbow Bridge, Acoltye of Hiemdoll, and Bezerker of Wotan, Wielder of the Divine Bolts."
