NIFLHEIM

God of : n/a | Hall : n/a | Mount : n/a

The lowest realm of the Norse universe.

This icy cold, dark and foggy place collided with Muspelheim at the chaos void known as Ginnungagap at the beginning of time. The resulting droplets of melting frost formed a poisonous substance called Eitr which is what Ymir the first of the Rime giants was made from.

See Nine Worlds.
