Muspelheim 穆斯贝尔海姆
(重定向自Muspellsheim)
In Norse mythology, Muspelheim (Old Norse:Múspellsheimr), also called Muspell (Old Norse:Múspell), is a realm of fire. This realm is one of the Nine Worlds, ruled by Surt with his consort Sinmara in some accounts. The denizens of Muspelheim were usually referred to as the Eldjötnar (also Eldthursar, "fire giants") in Norse tradition, though they were also identified by other epithets in Eddic poetry, such as the Múspellssynir (or Múspellsmegir — "sons of Muspell") and the Rjúfendr (from rjúfa — "to break, tear asunder", Destroyers of Doomsday). Both of these terms sometimes described an entirely separate mythological species that dwelled alongside or in place of the eldjötnar within this fiery realm. Muspelheim is fire; and the land to the North, Niflheim, is ice. The two mixed and created water from the melting ice in Ginnungagap. The sun and the stars originate from Muspelheim.
