Niflheim: Realm of Mist and Ice

Before there was fire, there was mist. Niflheim, the frozen world of Norse myth, lies at the edge of creation — a realm of silence, frost, and shadow where death and life intertwine. From its rivers came the first giants; beneath its mists dwell the forgotten dead. More than a land of endings, Niflheim is the cold patience that balances fire, the quiet breath between creation and destruction. To understand it is to understand the stillness that holds the cosmos together.
