====== MA Jotunheim, Iron Woods ======
===== Lore =====
One of the original fourteen factions, Jotunheim is a realm of snow and snow giants, known as the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6tunn|Jotunar]]. The white-haired beings are remnants of the glacial Rimtursar and the icy [[niefelheim-ea|Niefel]], taller giants they seemed like children to. The great Rimtursar warred with and defeated titans known as the Aesir in a time before time, though not without cost; one god marked the Rimtursar and their [[muspelheim-ea|fiery neighbors]] for death by thunder, and so the Rimtursar went to sleep, possibly eternally. The Jotuns mourned their distant ancestors, but the Niefel enjoyed their time as the tallest of beings; until their own era came to pass, that is.
The greatest heroes of the Rimtursar killed gods. The greatest hero of the Niefel, Tjaste, immortalized himself (possibly literally) by capturing a god. The greatest of the Jotuns is a witch; she resides in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A1rnvi%C3%B0r|Jarnvidjur]], sowing spite and spells in her own people, taking pleasure in whatever comes of her schemes. She taught men and women alike the art of Blood magic, then taught the women how to ensnare their male counterparts in lycanthropy. When the Niefel left the world, she accepted the court advisors of their Jarls, withholding them from Jotunheim until the moment a Pretender God awakened; this wasn't great for the Jotun Jarls and the newer witches, but it has preserved ancient sorcery for this very moment, whereas the Jotuns' old [[vanheim-ma|Van]] enemies have ground themselves down with over-activity. The returning recluses are accompanied by the Vaettir, household goblins of the giantesses.
//"[Niefelheim] sprung from old Norse myth. The Poetic Edda and some later tales, combined with general conceptions of Iron Age Scandinavia, are the main sources. Vanir, Aesir and Giants are ancient antagonists in these myths. The Aesir, being perceived as gods, have been made pretenders in Dominions. Not that Vanir weren't, but they seem less so than the Aesir in most instances. As with most nations of supernatural origin, it seems fitting that their magic fades with each passing age as humans become more and more numerous. \\ \\
Niefelheim, Muspelheim, Jotunheim, and Utgård are part of the history of a single nation through the ages. Vanheim, Helheim and Midgård also share a common ancestry and development. In the middle era Helheim merges with Vanheim and disappears as an independent nation. Only the valkyries remain as reminders of the legacy of Helheim." -Illwinter//
Jotunheim is one of the original fourteen factions from //Dominions: Priests, Prophets, and Pretenders//. The others are [[Arcoscephale-ma|Arcoscephale]], [[Ermor-ma|Ermor]], [[Pythium-ma|Pythium]], [[Man-ma|Man]], [[Ulm-ma|Ulm]], [[Marignon-ma|Marignon]], [[Abysia-ma|Abysia]], [[Caelum-ma|Caelum]], [[Ctis-ma|C'tis]], [[Pangaea-ma|Pangaea]], [[Vanheim-ma|Vanheim]], [[Atlantis-ma|Atlantis]], and [[R-lyeh-ma|R'lyeh]].

**Capitol Gems: **{{gems>1W1S2D1G}}
**Cold Limit + 1** \\
**Prefers {{:misc:scales:cold.png?15&nolink}} Cold Scale + 2**
**Thrymsheim:** Increases recruitment limit + 1 in capital. This means that, when ??Illwinter?? is cast, Jotunheim may recruit **one ??Niefel Giant?? each month** from the capital. Contrary to the description of Illwinter, Niefel Giants have a recruitment limit of **-1** without Thrymseim's recruitment limit bonus and Illwinter.
{{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_bondi.png?nolink }} The **Jotunar** are snow Giants of **Size 6**. To give a sense of how mighty the Jotunar are, untrained Jotun men still have **31 HP**, **5 [[protection|Natural Protection]]**, **19 Strength**, **9 Attack Skill**, **9 Defence Skill**, **12 [[Magic Resistance]]**, and **11 Morale**. These stats (other than MR) each vary for Jotun troops, but all have **16 Map Movement** and **15 Combat Speed** while naked. As snow Giants, the Jotunar are totally fine walking through {{:abilities:snow_move.png?15&nolink}} **Snow** and have {{:abilities:resist_cold.png?15&nolink}} **15 [[Cold Resistance]]**, but they also have {{:abilities:vulnerability_shock.png?15&nolink}} **-5 [[shock-vulnerability|Shock Resistance]]** due to the eternal grudge of an absent Thor.
{{:nations:ma:jotunheim:vaetti_archer.png?nolink }} The **Vaettir** are **Size 2** (five-to-a-square) beings, commonly regarded as goblins. Their homeland of Vaettiheim is in the Iron Woods, where the snow doesn't really penetrate through the branches and leaves, so they cannot ignore {{:abilities:snow_move.png?15&nolink}} **Snow**. They also only have **{{:abilities:resist_cold.png?15&nolink}} 5 [[Cold Resistance]]**, but at least they handle lightning about as well as a dog. A Jotun can share a square with two Vaettir, by the way; this doesn't really help the Jotun with ranged combat, as he or she is the larger target, but it may help in the melee.

If all four dwarves are alive at once, the world is plunged into a ??Perpetual Storm?? and all battles will have ??Darkness?? over them; this is a somewhat roundabout manner to apply what amounts to two Global Enchantments at once, but the only way to dispel either effect is to kill one of them. |

===== Magic Access =====
====Recruits====
**Elements:**
* No {{:misc:magic:fire.png?15&nolink}}Fire access
* No {{:misc:magic:air.png?15&nolink}}Air access (aside from ??Tjatse - Abductor??)
* {{path>W3}} on one-in-four ??Jotun Skratti#3429??s ({{path>W2}} on the rest)
* No {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth access
**Sorcery:**
* {{path>S2}} on around one-in-nine ??Jarnvidja??s (capital-only); {{path>S1}} on one-in-five ??Gygja#3397??s off-capital
* {{path>D3}} on around one-in-nine ??Jarnvidja??s (capital-only); {{path>D2}} on one-in-five ??Gygja#3397??s off-capital
* {{path>N2}} on around one-in-nine ??Jarnvidja??s (capital-only); {{path>N1}} on one-in-five ??Gygja#3397??s off-capital
* {{path>G3}} on around one-in-nine ??Jarnvidja??s (capital-only); {{path>G2}} on one-in-five ??Gygja#3397??s off-capital
**Other Paths:**
* {{path>B3}} on one-in-four ??Jotun Skratti#3429??s ({{path>B2}} on the rest, and on one-in-five ??Gygja#3397??s)
* {{path>H2}} on ??Jotun Gode??s
==== Path-Boosting ====
The ??Illwinter?? ({{path>B5W3}}) allows {{path>W2B3}} Skrattis with a Water booster, a Blood booster, and an [[Empowerment]] in Blood (or two Blood boosters if you have the time) to enable the summoning of ??Niefel Jarl??s with ??Winter's Call??. These beings have {{path>W3D2H2,100%WDG,10%WDG}}, thus upgrading Jotunheim's Water access by a level (at least if the Water Queens were missed while studying Blood magic) and giving Jotunheim far-more-reliable access to {{path>D3}}.
Alternatively, Jotunheim has access to ??Summon Dwarf of the Four Directions??, which lets a {{path>A4E3}} Pretender (or a {{path>A4E2}} Pretender with the ??Earth Boots??) summon one-to-four additional {{path>A4E3}} mages. One of these will come with {{path>F2}}, one will come with {{path>W2}}, one will come with {{path>D2}}, and one will come with {{path>N2}}.
===Fire===
**No native access**. High investment in Blood offers access to unique Fire mages, however; {{path>B5}} for a one-in-four chance of a {{path>F4}} and {{path>B8}} for a one-in-three chance of at least {{path>F4}}, for instance. The summoning of the latter ages the caster by ten years. Either avenue allows for climbing the rest of the ladder, with the {{path>B8}} option possibly giving you a ??Skull of Fire?? forger.
===Air===
One of the Demon Lords ({{path>B8}}) has {{path>A5}}, but that specific one is incredibly dangerous to have around. It's not out of the realm of imagination to get a {{path>N1G3}} Jarnvidja, however; with a Glamour booster, she can summon a ??Queen of Winter?? who has a 50% chance to be a {{path>A2}} mage. {{path>N1G2}} is more likely, requiring a {{gems>45G}} empowerment to get within ??Faerie Court?? distance.
Alternatively, if you get ??Tjatse - Abductor??, his {{path>A4}} as a Great Eagle lets you climb the entire ladder.
===Water===
An above-water Water nation, Jotunheim can climb most of the ladder but may run into trouble with summoning a Water Queen. Thanks to the ??Niefel Jarl??, Jotunheim can reach {{path>W6}} without even touching artifacts or the sea; for empowerment-less games, this isn't an option and the ceiling is generally {{path>W5}}.
===Earth===
**No native access.** However, ??Hidden in Snow?? can summon ??Unfrozen Mages?? with up to {{path>E3}}; this can be cast by Skrattis with a Death random and a Water booster, or by any Niefel Jarl. Alternatively, if you have a warm province, you can use the ??Queen of Winter?? strategy mentioned above to get a ??Faery Queen?? instead; she has a 1-in-3 chance of possessing {{path>E2}}, and she's a [[Disease Healer]].
One of the Demon Lords has {{path>E4B4}}. He can then cast ??Father Illearth?? if Jotunheim hasn't fallen behind in Conjuration yet, for one additional {{path>E4}} mage; or he can stick to ??Troll King??s, at {{gems>65E}} apiece.
===Seith Sorcery===
The odds of getting {{path>S2}} on a two-turn Jarnvidjur is around 11.2%. If you recruit six of them, you have a just-over-50% chance of one of them having {{path>S2}}. If you recruit nine, you have a just-under-66% chance. This also applies to getting {{path>D3}}, getting {{path>N2}}, and getting {{path>G3}}. There's also a .976% chance of going a level higher; the odds are less than 1-in-102.
Of the four, Death has the easiest ladder-climb. {{path>D2}} gives the ??Skull Staff??, so a {{path>D3}} Jarnvidja really has {{path>D4}}. From there, it takes only a single Death empowerment to get the ??Skullface?? and the death-boosting artifacts.
Glamour is second-easiest, thanks to the ??Gossamer Veil??, but it does require getting that one-in-nine Jarnvijda to forge. {{path>G3}} becomes {{path>G4}}, which can then do other things depending on what else the Jarnvidja has, but Jarnvidja cannot craft the ??Mirage Crystal?? themselves; that would require a {{path>E2G3}} ??Faery Queen??.
Nature is given a significant leg up by two of Jotunheim's heroes, ??Gullveig - Undying?? and ??Angerboda - Great Hag??; both of their paths let them craft the ??Thistle Mace??, the ??Moonvine Bracelet??, the ??Armor of Twisting Thorns??, and the ??Treelord's Staff??. Without heroes, the needed paths for these various boosters are very rare.
Lastly, there's Astral. ??Angerboda - Great Hag?? has {{path>S3D3}}; she can craft the ??Starshine Skullcap??, then open an ??Ether Gate?? for a 25% chance of a {{path>S4}} ??Ether Lord??, getting another level. Without Angerboda, the situation is similar to that of Nature, except with only the Starshine Skullcap.
===Blood===
With Angerboda, Jotunheim doesn't need empowerment to reach {{path>B5}}; Angerboda can make the ??Armor of Twisting Thorns??, and the ??Blood Thorn??. Making the Armor of Twisting Thorns is otherwise difficult to procure.
