Step 5 of 12 · Ragnarök and What Comes After
Muspelheim (Múspellsheimr)
Why this step
Surtr comes from Muspell. Gylfaginning says he guards its border with a flaming sword, and at the end of the world will go out to fight the gods and burn the universe. The sons of Muspell ride through the broken sky, and Völuspá has Muspell’s people come over the sea on a ship from the east. The fire whose sparks, in the creation account, began the world is the fire that ends it.
From the Lorebook
The hot, bright world of fire, in the south.
