MUSPELL

In Norse mythology, Muspell or Muspellheim was one of the two worlds which existed before existence.
Muspell was a fire continent, the mirror image of the ice continent, Niflheim. Flames reaching out from Muspell touched the ice glaciers at the edge of Niflheim, thawing the ice and forming a frozen mist which eventually took form as the giant Ymir.
