Muspelheim: The Land of Fire
Muspelheim (Old Norse: “Múspellsheimr”) was created at the same time as
Niflheim but it was created far to the south of the world Muspelheim is a burning hot place, filled with lava, flames,
sparks, and soot. Muspelheim is the home of fire giants, fire demons,
and ruled by the giant Surtr.
He is a sworn enemy of the Aesir. Surtr will ride out with his flaming
sword in his hand at Ragnarök “the end of the world” Surtr will then
attack Asgard, “the home of the gods” and turn it into a flaming
inferno.
