Niflheim
Niflheim
("house of mists") is the far northern region of icy fogs
and mists, darkness and cold. It is situated on the lowest
level of the universe.
The
realm of death, Helheim is part
of the vast, cold region. Niflheim lies underneath the third
root of Yggdrasil, close to
the spring Hvergelmir ("roaring cauldron").
Also situated on this level is Nastrond, the Shore
of Corpses, where the serpent Nidhogg eats corpses
and gnaws on the roots of Yggdrasil.
After
Ragnarok, there will be a hall
here for the punishment of murderers, oath breakers, and
philanderers
