Jotunheim

In Jotunheim, you can taste magic in the air and feel its tingle in your bones. It’s a land of towering mountains, treacherous glaciers, scalding geysers, and magical hot springs, where the Northern lights can be clearly seen from every summit. The mightiest of giant kind rule its halls, and even gods walk cautiously in this domain. The giants have claimed Jotunheim as their home since the beginning of the world. They call it the Bones of Aurgelmir after their slain progenitor, and here they plot to regain their former status as masters of the world. Somewhere in the crags and mountains of Jotunheim, the Cult of Ragnarok makes its home, hatching plots to bring about the signs and omens that herald cataclysm.

Places of Interest

Avaldvellir

The most imposing mountain range of the realm, its southern reaches open in a massive series of valleys and peaks, dotted with caverns where nameless monsters live.

Thrymheimr

This palace is made of tree trunks that have been eternally frozen, making them as hard as stone. No flame is capable of setting it on fire. It is here that the jotunn clan leader of the frost giants resides.

Hagkorn

A completely frozen mountain ridge to the extreme north, with some storms of sleet and ice harrowing its slopes. The taller reaches of these peaks are plagued by storms of powdered rock and snow so fast it can flay the skin of a man. Its top is only ice, both clinging to the rocks and hanging in the air, almost as if floating. Situated on its highest peak is the palace for the storm giants.

Jarnvodir, The Iron Forest

Here giant trees crowd the earth like corpses in a mass grave. Their forms have neither leaves nor life, as their trunks are not made of wood, but black iron. If Jotunheim is a dangerous world, than Jarnvodir is a death sentence. Howling, hungry laughter, and endless whispers can be heard from the edges of the forest. This is the home of Angrboda, the Mother of Monsters.

Okolnir

This is the beer hall dedicated to Ymir, the first giant. No one is refused entry here as long as they raise a drink to Ymir and that they are aware they enter at their own peril as giants can be quite violent when drunk.
