I’ve been playing catch up at work … but I still managed to work up this one tonight.

Niflheimr in stainless steel.

And back to building stock for the Nordic Fire Festival next month …

[afoolandathief]

the most obnoxious thing about thht revisions rn is trying to decide whether Niflheimr and Helheimr should be two distinct realms or not

It comes very close to what I have been picturing in my mind. One shoulder was always left bare, but it's a definitve yes to the long skirts and the colours.

Right, after some deep diving through FFXV wiki and some research into hereditary titles, inheritance laws and various historical and fictional courts, I think I have a general idea of what I want the Niflheimr court in general and the Aldercapt dynasty in particular to look like.

***

Let's start with the inheritance laws.

I settled on agnatic-cognatic (male-preference) primogeniture i.e. the throne goes to the eldest son, then his brothers by order of age, then his eldest sister and so on. And since the Aldercapts don't have Bahamut artificially pruning the family tree to one child per generation in recent centuries, there are actually people related to the Emperor with a legitimate claim to the throne.

(Side-note: some pruning is still happening as a result of children competing for the throne. Iedolas' brothers and one sister had died before he even came to the throne.)

The issue here is that Iedolas is an ambitious man - even if he's not obsessed with reviving Solheim (at the moment) - and wants to leave a legacy. Which means he wants his heir to be his child/grandchild.

You raised a valid point about Iedolas having children before that point. Which. Uhmm. Canon doesn't exactly help here. The only thing we know for certain is that he had at least one son (b. 720 ME) who died at the earliest in 748 ME (because that's the birth year for Solara Antiquum) but was definitely dead when the game kicked off in 756 ME. Considering Iedolas is from Mors' generation that's kind of late to have your first child.

So!

I'm gonna make an executive decision here.

Iedolas did have children before that with his wife. Specifically two sons and a daughter. Possibly some grandchildren even. However they all died due to combination of illnesses, accidents and deliberate action. At that point he tried for another child with his wife, which canonically ended up with her death from childbirth complications within a year. In this au, the son in question was born early - resulting in underdeveloped lungs plus host of other health issues - and died as a young teenager due to pneumonia.

Hence, the order for Besithia to create an heir for him.

***

Situation at the Imperial court is surprisingly stable at the moment.

Just because the Emperor has no children doesn't mean he has no heirs*. The current heir presumptive is his younger sister but since she's rather elderly, the throne is actually probably going to be inherited by his great-niece. The woman in question is from a high-ranking house, married to a man from similarly titled house, has a range of useful political and military connections and a daughter of her own at the time of Prompto's birth.

(Iedolas had been planning to betroth Prompto to his great-great-niece and name the mother a regent just in case he dies before his son is an adult.)

So most of the politicking is currently about getting into the good graces of the imperial heiress and discrediting the rivals. The most opposition is from warmongers (Ulldor) as she's much less militant than the current emperor, so will likely focus on consolidating the imperial gains in Tenebrae and addressing social issues instead of continuing the conquest.

***

As for where that would leave Prompto (or whatever Iedolas would rename him)?

I'm headcanoning that Niflheimr royals don't introduce their kids to public until they are at least 10. Before that there might be rumours, especially if the Empress is obviously pregnant, but nobody will confirm anything outright.

There's a bunch of historical reasons behind that, but mostly it's very useful if you need to, erm, adjust the family tree.

And right now it means that Aldercapt still has time to get his kid back instead of writing him off as a lost cause and trying again or just formally declaring a new heir from among his relatives. Because nobody will bat an eyelash on the boy not being seen before his formal introduction.

If the Nifs actually recover him, he will be raised in a secluded estate on the outskirts of Gralea with staff being responsible for his upbringing and Iedolas visiting often to check on him.

***

*I was inspired by the House Arryn. Somebody once joked that even if you are five generations removed from lordship, you can still end up being the Heir Arryn. A peasant sneezes in the Vale and they've lost half their house members.

Pick Me Up Infinite Gacha

Okay, I caught up the novel translation. Soo...it's 208/327 for the main story. 119 chapters left.

So far, this novel still one of my favorite. It's really well written. The story line, plot, characters development, world. I can say this is my favorite Korean webnovel after ORV.

About Han Seojin, a famous ranker in game Pick Me Up, a game about heroes who climbing tower to save the world. One day, when he playing the game, his heroes encountered an unidentified enemy. Suddenly he lost unconsciousness and when he woke up, he was inside the game, as an hero in a newbie account. He always think his heroes in this game have their own personality, like a real human. It's turned out they ARE human being from different dimensions.

The unique things about Pick Me Up are each account has different heroes and quests, and when your hero dies, they cannot revived. Due the random summoned heroes and difficulties, Han always says this game is based on luck. Also, the heroes can suggest something to the master.

The competent Master now being a hero with newbie Master. He must do his best to clearing the quests.

.

.

I love the strict but not really heartless Han. He's really smart, can be cruel if he need, but also kind inside. He's getting being psychopath though lol. The mad dog. Anyway, I repeat it again: he isn't heartless but can be cruel if needed. I'd like to see him meet his first hero.

Jenna also my favorite. The cheerful genius archer. She really mood makers.

Aaron definitely my most favorite character, beside of Han. He didn't give up despite his lack of talent. Reminds me of Rock Lee. And I love his timid personality. I'm waiting for his return. I wonder how much his personality will change.

Eolka, Edis, Dika, Velkist, Neryssa, Rodrick, etc. And Niflheimr's first party. And of course Anytng. I love almost all of the characters.

I really recommend you this series if you love smart MC, games with strategies, strong characters, and complex story. The manhwa also really good! As a novel reader, I would say the manhwa so satisfying to read!

Now since I caught up PMU, I think I'm gonna continuing read EX Rank, then TCF.

[ertrunkenerwassergeist]

something i find interesting, it was a blink and you miss it moment in brotherhood, in the "bittersweet"/ignis episode, basically stating that the war ended 30 years ago and that the crown sort of "regulates" the news/what's shown, i find that fascinating, what are your thoughts on it?

Hi, Anon!

Okay, disclaimer here: While I saw Brotherhood twice, it's been a few years. I forgot quite a few details. So I can't quite remember the context the information was presented in. But since you've asked for my thoughts, it's the context is not too important.

I personally think that the war wasn't "over" in the last 30 years. I imagine it having been more of a cold war between Niflheim and Lucis because Niflheim didn't have the means yet to invade Lucis and hold the territories they conquered.

Instead Niflheim concentrated on the nations it could reach. I.e. Tenebrae and Accordo. Much of Tenebrae has been under Niflheimr stewardship for close to a 100 years now, if I remember the information correctly. By the time Regis brought Noctis to see the Fleurets, only Fenestala Manour and the surrounding area was still autonomous.

And Niflheim conquered Galahd in that time.

One could also make an argument for the war being "over" meaning that Lucis basicall capitulated 30 years ago and doesn't want to admit it to the public. But that angle doesn't feel quite right.

So, in my opinion, it's, like I said, more of a cold war situation.

And, when it comes to war, every nation "regulates" what the public sees. That is nothing new. You want to keep people from panicking and keep fighting morale as high as possible. Which means you keep negative news as quiet as possible, try to twist it into a 'that's good actually' narrative and hype up the positive things. Classic propaganda.

Or, what I think the crown is more guilty of: keeping news of the war's progress in general as quiet as possible. I honestly believe that many Insomnians don't know how the war is going, and where the frontline is. They just know the war is going. Which is, I feel, an aspect of why Regis's decision to sign the 'peace treaty' (it's a capitulation, le's be honest) was met with quite a few protests. People just didn't know how badly Lucis was actually faring in the war.

Oh, I just had a thought. Could people think, because of which information is being presented by the Crown, that the war has been over for 30 years already?

That would be... something. I mean, you can lie to a city full of people who never leave it. Which also sheds light on another angle of the refugee situation.

According to the information the Insomnians have, these people showed up without any real reason (the war is over, it cannot be that bad) and are now mooching off of them.

This feels like material for another au.

Solitary Confinement

Nyx paced the length of the small, windowless room they tossed him in for the one hundred twenty eighth time. It wasn’t any bigger than a storage room back in the Citadel, just big enough for a tiny commode with sink and still have room to lie down. It made him miss his dingy apartment back in Little Galahd. 

Well, that and it drove home the knowledge that he was a prisoner. The few people he’d seen didn’t have uniforms, but they spoke Niflheimr, so it must be the Niffs. Nothing else made sense. 

He really hoped Pelna had gotten away. He hadn’t seen him in the time he’d been here, so he was choosing to take that as a good sign.

He hadn’t seen anyone since they’d thrown him in here however long ago. 

One minute, Pelna was teasing him about date night with Cor, the next a drop ship and two squads of MTs dropped down on their heads. Nothing the two of them couldn’t handle, generally speaking. Except the sun had gone down faster than expected, and two Iron Giants popped up in the middle of the fight. 

Nyx had pushed Pelna out of the way and yelled at him to go. He saw the flash of a warp and then the Iron Giant threw him into a MT that took that moment to explode. His armor took most of the blast, as he discovered when he woke up and found himself in more or less one piece. Which was great news right up until he realized he was tied to a chair.

They asked the usual questions about who he was and what he was doing in their accented Lucian. He answered back in Galahdan insults, which were always more satisfying than Lucian ones. The expected backhand dazed him, and when he could pay attention again, he heard them dictating terms and realized there was a camera in the room. 

He’d yelled insults again, but they ignored him. Just hauled him up and dragged him to this room, throwing him in before slamming the door shut. He’d caught a few sentences of Niflheimr as the door clanged closed, but not enough to make sense of what they’d said. And that was the last he’d heard of anyone.

He really hoped Cor never saw that video they were making. Lucis couldn’t compromise their security for one glaive, not even one currently dating the Marshal. It would only upset Cor to see Nyx in this situation when he couldn’t do anything about it, and Nyx didn’t want that. He’d always understood and respected Cor’s devotion to Regis and Lucis, and that personal concerns were secondary to duty. 

He’d never wanted to hurt Cor. But it seemed like this time he couldn’t help it. Even if Cor didn’t watch the video himself, someone would tell him of it. 

Just, maybe if they didn’t let Cor see it, see him like it, it wouldn’t be as bad.

If only someone would come in, try to interrogate him. He’d even take the usual ‘friendly getting to know you’ beating. Anything other than this damn nothing. The lack of information was driving him up the wall as much as the situation itself.

With no windows, there was no way to reliably measure time. He’d gotten thirsty enough to drink out of the small sink and use the commode a couple times. He’d laid down and tried to catch a few hours of sleep a few times. Once, he’d woken up to a half dozen packs of rations someone had thrown in while he’d been asleep. 

All he could say is that it had probably been more than a couple of days he’d been stuck here, and he didn’t know why they were ignoring him. He’d think they’d forgotten about him if it hadn’t been for the rations. What was their game?

He wished desperately for an actual enemy to fight, instead just the voices in his head. How much longer could this go on?

Cold winter: Ymir

YMIR

Category: Norse mythology

If you study Norse mythology, you should know Ymir’s name. Not that it is his only name, mind you: he is also called Brimir, Blainn, Aurgelmir… And he is also the key character of the Norse creation myth – not only was he one of the very first living beings of the universe, but he is also considered to be the ancestor of the mythological race known as the “jötnar”. You know, the jötnar… a rival race of the gods, renowned for their great size and immense powers. You might be more familiar with the popular English translations of “giants” – but know that the “giants” of Norse mythology are actually the “jötnar”, which is… not really the same thing, the same way you can’t translate “Titan” by “giant”. But I get carried away… Who is Ymir? As usual we need to look at the two main sources of Norse mythology: the Eddas.

Let’s begin with the older record, the Poetic Edda:

The Poetic Edda was the first to use the “triple name” of Ymir. The jötnar are described as “Ymir’s kin” and explicitly said to be all descendants of Ymir. Ymir is said to have lived in a time before waves, sand or sea existed, in a place without grass, earth or sky: the “chaotic chasm”, the “yawning gap”, aka the Ginnungagap. He is described at one point as an “ice-cold” or “frost-cold” giant, and we know that the gods created the world out of Ymir’s body: his flesh became the earth, his bones the mountains and hills ; his skull became the sky/heavens, his blood the ocean ; his hair became the trees, and his brain became the clouds, and Midgard, the realm of the human beings, was created out of Ymir’s eyebrows.

Ymir’s second name, Aurgelmir, comes from a description of the genealogy of the jötnar. The oldest of the jötnar is described as being Bergelmir, born before the earth was formed: he was the son of Thrudgelmir, and the grandsom of “Aurgelmir”. We don’t know much about Thrudgelmir, but we know that Aurgelmir was the first jötunn , created out of the poison dripping out of Elivagar (the primordial rivers and half-frozen water currents at the beginning of the world), and who became the ancestor of all jötnar: he did not reproduce with a female being, since there was none in this time, but rather he created life out of himself. A girl and boy were said to have been born from Aurgelmir’s armpits, while his two feet produced together a six-headed jötunn (unnamed, but who might be the same as Thrudgelmir).

As for his last names, Brimir and Blain, they come from one specific passage of the Poetic Edda where the race of the dwarfs is said to have been created by the gods out of “Brimir’s blood and Blain’s legs”.

This is all we know of Ymir from the Poetic Edda. For more info we will have to look at the Prose Edda, who as usual takes back the elements of the Poetic and weaves on them, expands them into a more cohesive narration.

In the Prose Edda we actually have a full and very detailed cosmogony story for how the world and Ymir came to be. In the beginning of all things, there was only one of the “nine realms”: Muspell, a bright and glowing realm of heat and fire. Then, after some time a second realm appeared: Niflheimr, a realm of coldness, fog and darkness. From Niflheimr sprang forth eleven cold and poisonous rivers known as the Elivagar (remember, just above). And between the two realms was the Ginnungagap, the void between the worlds. Now, the eleven rivers flowed out of Niflheimr into the “northern” section of the Ginnungagap – there the liquid of the river turned into big chunks of ice, where the toxic vapors of the poison became rime ice. The rivers thus, layer by layer, covered the northern area of the Ginnungagap in ice – while in the southern region of the void, Muspel kept sending bright sparks and molten flecks, keeping the area hot and lighted. In the middle of the Ginnungagap was thus a “mild” place not too hot and not too cold, not too dark and not too bright: there, the ice met the hot air and melted, and from this melting was born an entity… an entity in the “shape of a man”, that is known to us as “Ymir” but that the jötnar (his descendants) called “Aurgelmir”. Ymir was not a god, but the first of all the jötnar – even though he only particularly “birthed” one specific subrace of the jötnar, the “hrimthursar” (usually translated as “frost-giants” or “ice-giants”): he birthed them during his sleep. During his sleep he sweated heavily, and from the sweat of his left arm was born a son, from the sweat of his right arm was born a daughter, and his two legs somehow “mated” with each other so to speak to produce a second son.

Now we get into a part of the story the Poetic Edda did not cover: right after the melting created Ymir, it created a second being, Audumbla the primordial cow. From her teats constantly flower four rivers of milk: they were what Ymir fed on. As for the cow herself she licked the salty ice of northern Ginnungagap: she kept licking the ice, again and again, for three whole days to feed herself, and in the process she somehow either set free or sculpted out of this ice a man – that was not a jötunn, but rather the first god (or the ancestor of gods). He was named Buri – “large, powerful, and beautiful”. Buri somehow had a son named Borr (how? Mystery), and this son married a jötunn girl named Bestla, and from this divine/jötnar union were born three sons. Odin, Vili and Vé. And these three sons, for unknown reasons, gathered together and killed Ymir. Oh yes, maybe not so much for unknown reasons… because you see, Ymir is said to have been an “evil” being, and similarly all of the jötnar are also described as being just as evil as him – while the narration mentions that Odin and his brothers (but especially Odin) were named after greatness and glory, and that somehow they were predestined or fitted to become the rulers of the world. Anyway, the three gods killed Ymir, and from this was a bloody murder. A VERY bloody murder: Ymir’s body produced so much blood it actually created an entire flood, in which all of the jötnar race died, drowned by the blood of their progenitor. All… except one, named Bergelmir, who escaped with his wife on a sort of chest or coffin that floated over the blood.

Once the primordial murder was committed, the trio of gods carried Ymir’s body to the middle of the Ginnungagap and created the world out of the corpse. From his flesh they created the earth, from his blood the sea and the lakes, his bones became big rocks and his teeth smaller stones ; from his skull they made the sky (and to hold the sky high above the earth they posted four dwarves at the four corners of the world to hold it). From the sparks and flames of Muspel the gods created the different lights of the sky ; and from Ymir’s brain they made the sky. The world was created as one large circular continent surrounded by a vast sea : the gods divided the world into two. The shores and outside of the “circle-continent” were given to the surviving jötnar, where the humans (and gods) lived in the inner part of the continent in Midgard – a “fortification” build out of Ymir’s eyelashes, to keep away the angry and hostile jötnar. Finally, Ymir’s death accidentally created the dwarf race: after the gods built Asgard for them to live in and held their council, they quickly wondered what to do with the dwarfs (or “dvergr” as they were known in Old Norse) – indeed these beings had actually sprang out of the earth of their own, “like maggots out of the flesh”. In fact, the comparison is pushed forward when it is revealed that the dwarfs started their life AS maggots: the dvergar gained “life and shape” in Ymir’s flesh/the earth, and were no more than a specific kind of maggot feeding of the dead jötunn flesh. The gods however decided to offer these beings intelligence, and to give them a new shape, the shape of “men”, though they kept their ability and habit to “live in the earth and in rocks”.

When it comes to the "giants" of Norse mythology, things are very complicated... The English translation of Norse myths like to just call everything "giants". Ice giants, fire giants, stone giants... But things are more complicated. As I said the race of the jötnar (jötunn in singular) is the "official" name of the race as a whole. It means "devourer" and is considered to be akin to the Greek "Titan". However in the legends, the jötnar are also called by alternative names. Such as "thurs" (thursar in plural), which is a name often invoked when it comes to describing specific sub-types of evil species: the "frost giants" descendants of Ymir are in truth "hrimthursar" ; and similar other sub-types of giants usually use the term "thurs". It also doesn't help that the term "troll" is sometimes used to designate these entities, but you should not get too confused. The image of the "Norse troll" we have of this sort of big-eating not-so-bright giant with big noses comes from the various types of "modern" trolls as they shaped themselves through folklore and folktales - but originally? "Troll" was just a name for anything magic or supernatural. Thus you often find the term "troll wife" or "troll woman" in old Norse texts - and while it can mean a "female troll", it can also just mean a witch or enchantress or even the equivalent of a "fairy", as "troll woman" just means "magic woman", "supernatural woman". And similarly, when an object was said to be a "troll" object, it meant it had magic properties or some sort of charm related to it. There is a whole study to make here of the various names of the jötnar, but given my limited grasp on the various Nordic languages I'll just let you find out on your own

[dwollsadventures]

The conventional description of the Nine Realms. Each is a different branch of Yggdrasil, separate from the others.

Watching the newest Overly Sarcastic Production video on the mythological Nine Realms (here) has motivated me to return to writing a proper myth stuff entry. This is going to be on a single topic and a widespread misconception.

We in the modern world have a bit of a handicap when it comes to understanding the old world. The culmination of science and historical knowledge makes it difficult to understand people who don’t have that same basis of information informing their own beliefs. The most important widely known fact for our purposes here is astronomical. When most people today hear the word ‘world’, the next mental connection is often ‘planet’. We know we live on a planet which itself is one of many in a great celestial system of stars. This is the reason why there’s such a mental disconnect between us and the concept of the mythological ‘realm’.

This cosmological bias is evident in adaptations of Norse mythology: in Marvel the Nine Realms are different planets and in both God of War and Magnus Chase the Nine Realms are different dimensions. The other eight are connected to our own planet or dimension. It goes without saying that the medieval Norse and their ancestors did not know what planets or dimensions were. If they couldn’t understand the Nine Realms as dimensions or planets, what did they imagine them as?

Let’s look at the language. ‘Realm’ is but one translation for the word ‘heimr’. When we say Nine Realms in English, the Norse said Niu Heimar (heimar being the plural of heimr). The same word is used as a suffix for most of the commonly listed ‘realms’: Vanaheimr, Alfheimr, Niflheimr, etc. This word was not exclusive to mythology, however. One of Norway’s largest cities, Trondheim, bears this as well. “The Realm of Trond” doesn’t quite ring though. The more direct translation is “the home of the Trønd”, which makes more sense when you know that the trønder (þrǿndr in Old Norse) were a people who founded the city which bore their name. Applying this to the mythological names we get ‘home of the Vanir’, ‘home of the Elves/Alfar’, and ‘home of Mist’. When you read it outloud and abandon the astronomical point of view for a medieval geographic one, these names read less like planets and dimensions and more like countries or territories.

A rough attempt at combining the disparate geographic elements in the Eddas into a single plane. Jormungandr not included. Although, his presence makes one wonder if the Norse had an idea like the Greek Oceanus, where the mortal world was surrounded completely by a continuous river.

In this context, the confusing geography of the mythological heimar makes (a little) more sense. The Norse understood the mythological races not as living in a magical otherworld, but as living in far-off lands and territories. Jotunheimr’s frequent pluralization makes more sense in this regard: the jotnar are not a monolith, so of course there are multiple territories controlled by different populations of giants. The multiple ‘realms’ of the gods in Asgard are recontextualized as separate counties or neighborhoods controlled by the head gods. The Old Norse, after all, were a feudal society where farmers controlled large plots of land. The second suffix found in the mythological realms adds to this: ‘gardr’ means a fence or wall, which is what farmers would encircle their land with to demarcate boundaries.

The surprising amount of physical geography that pops up also makes more sense. Skirnir, the vassal of Freyr (note the medieval feudal term), must pass “wet mountains” to reach Gerth in Gymir’s abode. Griminsmal mentions many, many rivers that cross the lands of the gods

It isn’t all peachy-keen. The names we like to focus on so much are still poetic inventions. It’s doubtful that the skalds and priests who recited and/or believed in them put as much thought as anyone today into their mechanics. There are also still supernatural elements surrounding them, as can be found in other myths and legends: the home of the dead cannot just be crossed like any old border, and all the Jotunheimar are East of Asgardr and Midgardr regardless of position. Hel itself is a conundrum as it is said to be both beneath the earth and accessible by crossing the earth. The primordial Niflheimr and Muspelheimr are said to be north and south respectively, but that’s it.

Still, the idea of these mythological polities as planets or dimensions continually hinders modern understanding and writing concerning them. Looking at things from the medieval point of view rather than the modern one can shake up the preconceptions we continually apply to these fantastical lands.

Hey hey hey!!! New chapter dropped for pick me up

Ahhhhh!!!!! She's so distraught!

Ooooo~ we're getting more info on Niflheimr

Oh damn.

I'm excited for the eventual reunion!

Same. . . I'm still so sorry for Edis 😢

Usher is the first person I've seen her grieve. I guess it's clear that they've been very close off-screen. And Aaron? He was crying!

YES!!! NILFHEIMR!!!!

I'm so looking forward to Han's reunion with the heroes, considering we've seen two of them in the beginning, so I think the search is almost over!

[faroreswinds]

It just occurred to me, but Ragnorok... Might actually just be us. Since Book II, we have either been killing gods or gods are dying for us left and right:

Midgard, the mortal realm which contains the kingdoms of Askr and Embla.

(In the original Norse lore, Askr and Embla are the first two humans created by the gods and are the progenitors of the human race. In FEH, though, they are Gods.)

Niflheimr, the ice realm

(Nifl isn’t a realm god in Norse lore but who cares, lol)

Múspellheimr the flame realm

(Same with Muspell as Nifl)

Helheimr, the dead realm

(I’m actually not sure if Ganglot is considered a god but she was Hel’s hand-maiden in the original lore. Hel was the daughter of Loki).

Álfheimr, the subconscious elf realm which contains the dream kingdom of Ljosálfheimr and the nightmare kingdom Dökkálfheimr

(Freyr and Freyja are actually from Vanaheimr, which is realm of the gods t are populated by gods as known the Vanir)

Nidavellir, the dwarf realm

No gods for this realm

Jötunheimr, the giant realm

No gods for this realm

Asgard, the god’s realm

(Thorr and Loki are gods known as Aesir, whom in the original lore went to war with the gods from Vanaheimr)

FEH also mentioned the Allfather, who is likely from this realm in FEH. (It’s just Odin, btw, the Allfather is Odin). 

Vanaheimr, the realm of light

There was also a green-haired girl god but since I’m pretty sure she got turned into the bad guy, I’m not including her here. Notice how the pink goddess looks a loooooot like Freyr and Freyja, our goat Vanir gods!

(Seidr isn’t a real god, but a type of magic in Norse lore). 

Ymirheimr, the realm of life

(So this one is weird because Ymirheimr is a tenth realm. Some Norse mythos does include a tenth realm, and Asgard and Vanaheimr are known to have combined into one. But most people just know the NINE realms instead of ten. Also, Ymirheimr is never a realm in Norse lore, and is not actually called Ymirheimr in FEH, but I’m calling it that to keep in theme with the other realms. Ymir is also not a god in original mythos, technically, but rather a primordial being that was the origin of all of the giants. Idk, it’s weird stuff. It would make sense if Ymir was actually the god of Jötunheimr but I guess she’s not).
