Nifflheim

Niflheim is a realm from Norse mythology, often associated with darkness, cold, and mist. It is considered one of the primordial worlds, existing alongside Muspelheim, the land of fire. Niflheim is typically depicted as a gloomy and icy place, home to frost giants and the well of Hvergelmir, which generates powerful rivers. In the mythology, it contrasts sharply with other realms, emphasizing dualities like light and darkness. Niflheim reflects the Norse understanding of the cosmos, where different worlds coexist and influence one another, serving as a backdrop for the struggles and stories of gods and heroes.
