Niflheim

Once the Primordial land of Ice and Shadows, what we know today as the Faewild of Niflheim was created by Patchwork to serve as the homeland for his attempts at re-creating life. According to the commonly accepted creation myths, Niflheim was created from the frozen-over remains of the old worlds from before time, Patchwork had gathered the remnants into one mass of ice that had met with the ever-boiling flesh of Typhon to create what we now know as Brimir. Not all of the icy world had melted away from Brimir's creation, however, and the largest chunk was set down into the newly created sea to serve as the continent Patchwork would watch over. While at the time Niflheim was nothing more than a brutal tundra covered in the mists of chaos, the creation of Brimir had embedded an aspect of Life into the landmass, manifesting as a massive flower bulb known as the "Alfheim" that Sprouted near the center of the continent in spite of the cruel tundra that wanted to snuff it out, it was this tenacity that spurred Patchwork to tend to this plant and it's spawn, leading to the creation of the Fae. Most of Niflheim today looks wildly different from those days of ice and shadow, as the fae and elves alike have spread out from Alfheim to claim their own destiny along the continent, reshaping and conquering the land to better suit their nature, this eventually leads to the continent being split into six major courts we have today.
