| First of worlds was Muspellheim, in the Southern regions. It is bright and
hot. That place is aflame, and burning and it is impassable to those who are
not native to it. There is one called Surt who is stationed there at the
frontier to defend that land. He has a flaming sword and at the end of the
world he will go and wage war and burn the whole world with fire.
