   • Jotunheim. Jotunheim (“home of the jötunn”) was the opposite of Asgard in every regard. Whereas Asgard enjoyed the peace and prosperity associated with law and order, Jotunheim was consumed by the chaos and conflict wrought by its lawless inhabitants, which included giants and trolls (among others).
   • Midgard. The “middle enclosure,” Midgard was the realm of humanity. Not as civilized as Asgard, nor as barbarous as Jotunheim, Midgard fell somewhere inbetween.
   • Muspelheim. The molten realm of heat and flame, Muspelheim was one of two realms that existed at the dawn of time. In Norse creation myths, Muspelheim’s fires melted the ice of Niflheim.
