History
Niflheim (pronounced “NIF-el-hame;”) comes from Old Norse Niflheimr, meaning “World of Fog”. It's one of the Nine Worlds of Norse mythology and is overtaken by primordial darkness, cold, mist, and ice. It is ruled by Loki's goddess daughter Hel.
The word “Niflheim” is often used interchangeably with “Niflhel,” a poetic adaptation of “Hel", the world of the dead of which was named after the goddess Hel. The term “Niflhel” is found in Old Norse poems.
The well of Hvergelmir, from which all the rivers of earth flow, is said to originate in Niflheim.
