Home > Muspelheim

Muspelheim ("Flameland"), also called Muspel, is the realm of fire in Norse Mythology. It is home to the fire giant s, and their master, Surtur. It is fire and the land to the north, Niflheim is ice. The two mixed and created water from the melting ice in Ginnungagap. Sparks from Muspelheim created the planets, comets and stars.

One could speculate that because the Norsemen's religion was apart of their experiences, that Muspelheim may have been derived from early adventures in the Middle East. In this case, the fire giants are the Arabs whom the cold northern gods, cannot find a way to defeat.
