Muspellsheimr or Muspelheim (from Old Norse Múspellsheimr), also called Múspell, is one of the Nine Realms and is the realm of fire in Norse mythology. It is the homeworld of the Eldjötnar (fire giants) or the "sons of Muspell", and Surtr (Surtur), their ruler. Muspelheim is fire; and the land to the North, Niflheimr, is ice. The two mixed and created water from the melting ice in Ginnungagap, from which Ymir was born.
