====== EA Muspelheim, Sons of Fire ======
===== Lore =====
Far away in the frozen lands of the jotuns lies a vast valley of fire and ash. This is Muspelheim, a gloomy land lit by streams of lava. The acrid air is thick with soot and glowing embers, and the skies are dark and covered in clouds of smoke and sulfur. From the fires of Muspelheim primordial giants once emerged and now their descendants make the valley of fire and ash their home. The muspel giants have allied themselves with jotuns of the surrounding lands and most of the population is of jotun stock, but in the ashen fields of Muspelheim descendants of the first fire giants still live. The jotuns in general prefer cold climates, but the jotuns in Muspelheim are resistant to fire and do not suffer from the extreme heat of their ancestral home.
//"[Muspelheim] 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. \\ \\
Muspelheim was added in Dominions 6. I've wanted to make the nation for a long time, but haven't had the tools or inspiration to finish the nation. I wanted to convey the idea presented in the creation of the world in norse myth, with the flames and heat from Muspelheim meeting the frost and ice of Niefelheim. In Dominions 6 new mechanics were added that allows a nation to prefer cold lands, while the capital is exempt from the effects of severe heat. Thus I could make Muspelheim a land of ash and flames ruled by fire giants, surrounded by icy lands inhabited by jotun giants." -Illwinter//

The Gygjor (plural for ??Gygja??s) get two 100% randoms and one 10% random, each with the same paths ({{:misc:magic:astral.png?14&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:death.png?14&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:nature.png?14&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:glamour.png?14&nolink}}{{:misc:magic:blood.png?14&nolink}}). Thus, each of those Mages has a 42% chance of having at least {{path>G2}}, a 7.03135%? chance of having {{path>G3}}, and a 0.15625%? (1/640) chance of having {{path>G4}}. Gygjas can also get {{path>D3}} or {{path>B3}}, but the former is more common on Muspel Jarls (who have a 16/45 chance of {{path>D3}} and a 1/90 chance of {{path>D4}}). On the other hand, {{path>A1}}, {{path>S1}}, and {{path>N1}} are //not// guaranteed on any of your mages.
{{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_bondi.png?nolink }} Most residents outside Muspelheim Proper are **Jotunar**, 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:ea:muspelheim:muspel_hirdman.png?nolink }} The **Jotunar of Muspelheim Proper**, not given a specific name (though the females are **Muspeldottirs**), are fairly similar to the Jotunar of the outlying provinces. They are soot Giants; they have {{:abilities:vulnerability_shock.png?15&nolink}} **-5 [[shock-vulnerability|Shock Resistance]]** like all Jotunar, but they possess {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?15&nolink}} **15 [[Fire Resistance]]** and {{:abilities:wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} **[[Wasteland Survival]]** instead of the snow Giants' cold resistance. Compared to the snow Jotunar, the soot Jotunar generally have **1 fewer HP** and **2 less Strength**, but **1 additional point** in **Attack Skill** & **Defence Skill**.
{{:nations:ea:muspelheim:muspel_giant.png?nolink }} The **Muspel** ("world-destroying") Giants are **Size 9** beings, similar to titans but not quite as resilient. They are fire Giants, and they're far more capable in heavy {{:misc:scales:heat.png?15&nolink}} **Heat** [[scales]] due to their {{:abilities:fire_power.png?15&nolink}} **[[Fire Power]]**. Such is their affinity for fire that they're surrounded by a {{:abilities:heat_aura.png?15&nolink}} **[[Heat Aura]]**. Lastly, they have {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?15&nolink}} **25 [[Fire Resistance]]**, and ignore {{:abilities:snow_move.png?15&nolink}} **Snow** & {{:abilities:wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} **Wastes**. However, the Jotunar's unfortunate {{:abilities:vulnerability_shock.png?15&nolink}} **-5 [[shock-vulnerability|Shock Resistance]]** applies to the fire Giants too, since the two families share a common ancestor.

| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:jotun_scout.png?nolink}} | **??Jotun Scout#3953??** \\ {{gold}} 60 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 7 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ No Capital Recruit | {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_warrior.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:stealthy.png?15&nolink}} [[Stealthy]] (40) \\ {{:abilities:mountain_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Mountain Survival]] \\ {{:abilities:forest_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Forest Survival]] | An extremely expensive and less stealthy ??Scout??. It is better to recruit Scouts from independent provinces, but making some of these might be necessary if there are no other options. Summoning ??Shadow Servant??s (Conjuration 1) might be preferable. |
| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:jotun_herse.png?nolink}} | **??Jotun Herse#3954??** \\ {{gold}} 105 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 35 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ No Capital Recruit | {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_warrior.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?15&nolink}} [[Sacred]] | A durable sacred commander, but with only 75 leadership. |
| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:jotun_gode.png?nolink}} | **??Jotun Gode#3956??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 150 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 19 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ No Capital Recruit | {{path>H2}} \\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?15&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_warrior.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:forest_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Forest Survival]] | A {{path>H2}} priest, but with worse melee skills, armour and leadership (only 50) compared to the other mundane Jotun commanders. Useful for casting ??Sermon of Courage?? or efficiently banishing hordes of undead. |
| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:jotun_jarl.png?nolink}} | **??Jotun Jarl#3955??** \\ {{gold}} 180 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 35 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1 \\ No Capital Recruit | {{path>H1}} \\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?15&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_warrior.png?20&nolink}} | Jotun Jarls have both good leadership (100) and good melee skills, on top of being sacred. They are potentially useable as wading army thugs if relying on a skeleton spam strategy; otherwise, they are mostly just good army leaders. |
| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:muspeldottir.png?nolink}} | **??Muspeldottir#3972??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 230 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 3 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 | {{path>F1A1D1,100%FASD}}{{path>R13}} \\ {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:muspel_huskarl.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:fortune_teller.png?15&nolink}} [[Fortune Teller]] (10%) \\ {{:abilities:old_age.png?15&nolink}} [[Old Age]] (330/200) \\ {{:abilities:death_curse.png?15&nolink}} [[Death Curse]] \\ {{:abilities:Wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Wasteland Survival]] \\ [[Female]] \\ [[Lich Shape]] (??Lich Hag#3942??) | Muspeldottirs have wide paths, but their randoms bring them up to either level 2 in Fire, Air, or Death, or add a level of Astral for joining communions/casting ??Power of the Spheres??. This makes Muspeldottirs capable casters of battlefield magic, throwing out Evocations, summoning elementals, spamming skeletons, or even just buffing with ??Body Ethereal?? and ??Mistform??. They are always useful for something, though what that is exactly depends on their randoms. |
| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:gygja.png?nolink}} | **??Gygja#3957??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 285 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 3 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2 \\ No Capital Recruit | {{path>D1G1B1,100%SDNGB,100%SDNGB,10%SDNGB}}{{path>R15}} \\ {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_warrior.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:fortune_teller.png?15&nolink}} [[Fortune Teller]] (10%) \\ {{:abilities:old_age.png?15&nolink}} [[Old Age]] (330/200) \\ {{:abilities:death_curse.png?15&nolink}} [[Death Curse]] \\ {{:abilities:forest_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Forest Survival]] \\ [[Female]] \\ [[Lich Shape]] (??Lich Hag#3942??) | Gygjas bring Glamour, Nature and Blood magic to the nation, greatly opening up Muspelheim's options for utility spells. They are always able to form Sabbaths due to their guaranteed Blood path, and although Muspelheim lacks the Skrattir of Niefelheim, Gygjas themselves can act as reasonable turbo-sabbath slaves with a cast of ??Personal Regeneration??. |
| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:muspel_herse.png?nolink}} | **??Muspel Herse#3958??** \\ {{gold}} 180 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 35 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 1\\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:muspel_huskarl.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?15&nolink}} [[Sacred]] | Muspel Herses are essential Jotun Jarls with slightly better stats. They are probably not worth recruiting in the capital over Muspelheim's other cap-onlies. |
| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:muspel_gode.png?nolink}} | **??Muspel Gode#3959??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 260 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 19 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2\\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{path>F1H1,100%FAD}} {{path>R9}}\\ {{:abilities:sacred.png?15&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:muspel_huskarl.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:forest_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Forest Survival]] | Muspel Godes are Jotun Godes with slightly better stats and a bit of magic. They mostly lack the combat capability of Muspeldottirs and are much more expensive for the holy paths compared to Jotun Godes. |
| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:muspelgygja.png?nolink}} | **??Muspelgygja#3960??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 355 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 3 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 2\\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only | {{path>F2A1,100%FASDG,100%FASDG,10%FASDG}}{{path>R15}} \\ {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:muspel_huskarl.png?20&nolink}} \\ {{:abilities:fortune_teller.png?15&nolink}} [[Fortune Teller]] (10%) \\ {{:abilities:old_age.png?15&nolink}} [[Old Age]] (330/200) \\ {{:abilities:death_curse.png?15&nolink}} [[Death Curse]]\\ {{:abilities:wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Wasteland Survival]]\\ [[Female]] \\ [[Lich Shape]] (??Lich Hag#3942??) | Muspelgygjas have unpredictable paths, but many of them will be able to enter communions, and they have the potential for very high Fire and good Air magic. Their crosspaths allow for powerful utility spells like ??Wailing Winds??, while their potentially high base paths can be used for devastating Evocations. They are also significantly less expensive than Muspel Jarls and faster to recruit, meaning they are often the better choice to recruit before there is enough research to make Muspel Jarls properly scary. |
| {{:nations:ea:muspelheim:Muspel_jarl.png?nolink}} | **??Muspel Jarl#3961??** \\ {{:misc:gui:gold.png?15&nolink}} 695 \\ {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}} 28 \\ {{:misc:gui:recruitmentpoints.png?15&nolink}} 4 \\ {{:misc:gui:fortress.png?20&nolink}} Capital Only \\ {{:abilities:sacred_2.png?15&nolink}} Holy Points x 2 | {{path>F3A1D1H2,100%FAD,10%FAD}}{{path>R17}} \\ {{:abilities:sacred_2.png?15&nolink}} [[Sacred]] \\ {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?15&nolink}} [[Fire Resistance]] (30) \\ {{:abilities:vulnerability_shock.png?15&nolink}} [[Shock Vulnerability]] (5) \\ {{:abilities:heat_aura.png?15&nolink}} [[Heat Aura]] (15) \\ {{:abilities:fire_power.png?15&nolink}} [[Fire Power]] (1) \\ {{:abilities:snow_move.png?15&nolink}} [[Snow Move]]\\ {{:abilities:wasteland_survival.png?15&nolink}} [[Wasteland Survival]] | With the right research and gear, Muspel Jarls can be powerful supercombatants. Their magic is well-suited for the role: Death randoms can use the ??Phoenix Pyre??/??Soul Vortex?? combo with their Fire/Death paths, while Air randoms can ??Cloud Trapeze??. Fire randoms are maybe less desirable: while they can cast powerful evocations, this is nothing Muspelheim's other mages are not capable of. Their base melee stats (in Heat scales) and gear are enviable too; their Flame Blade deals AoE 1 Fire damage, making it essentially a discount Fire Brand.\\ \\ They can also be ??Twiceborn?? to gain a second life as undead, Size 9 ??Wight Mage#3445??s, though this process is expensive. These so-called "wightans" (a portmanteau of "wight" and "titan") are the subject of much theory-crafting in the community, and with the right bless and gear are very difficult to kill.\\ \\ All that said, Muspel Jarls are extremely expensive and slow to recruit, and they require a good deal of research and gear to come online. They are far too pricey to be used merely for thugging PD! |

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 them is to kill one of the dwarves. |
==== Other Spells ====
=== Ritual ===
* **??Seith Curse??** (Thaumaturgy 5) \\ {{path>S1D1}} and {{gems>3D}} \\ Commentary here.
=====Magic Access=====
//See [[Magic Access]].// These guides supplement the summaries at the top.
{{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord??. While most reliable at getting {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death and {{:misc:magic:glamour.png?15&nolink}}Glamour, the demons it summons may be strong in any path except for {{:misc:magic:water.png?15&nolink}}Water and, (unnecessarily,) {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood.
=== Fire ===
{{path>F4}} ??Muspel Jarl?? (1 in 3), with {{path>D1}}, makes it easy to climb {{:misc:magic:fire.png?15&nolink}}Fire.
=== Air ===
The ??Muspelgygja?? has a (1 in 25) chance at {{path>A2}} and {{path>S1}}. It needs {{path>A2S2}} for the unique ??Tome of High Power??. With an {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}Astral booster from an {{path>S2}} ??Gygja?? (1 in 25) or ??Muspelgygja?? (1 in 25). Without it, more empowerment is necesary.
=== Water ===
**No native access.** {{path>D2N5}} for ??Contact Lamia Queen?? and a 7 in 16 {{path>W1}}.
{{path>D3}} for ??Summon Spectre?? and a 7 in 16 at least {{path>W1}}.
{{path>N1G4}} for ??Faerie Court?? not in cold with 1 in 3 {{path>W1}} and, in cold, certain {{path>W3}}.
=== Earth ===
**No native access.** {{path>F4A5}} can create ??The Magic Lamp?? for ??Al Khazim - Jinn?? who has {{path>E3}}.
{{path>F5}} can cast ??King of Elemental Fire?? for a 1 in 2 chance of {{path>E1}}.
{{path>N1G4}} for ??Faerie Court?? not in cold with 1 in 3 {{path>E1}} and, in cold, 1 in 2 {{path>E1}}.
{{path>N3}} for ??Forest Troll Tribe?? and a 1 in 4 {{path>E1}}.
{{path>N5}} for ??Awaken Treelord?? and 1 in 3 {{path>E1}}.
=== Astral ===
With the useful crosspaths for {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}Astral in the same {{:misc:magic:random.png?15&nolink}}Random paths as the {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}Astral itself, getting any booster that requires a crosspath is tricky. Just getting {{path>S2}} is a 1 in 25 chance for the ??Gygja??s and the ??MuspelGygja??s.
=== Death ===
{{path>D3}} ??Gygja?? (1 in 25) still requires two boosters to get to {{path>D5}}. The ??Skull Staff?? is easy, of course, but the only other one reachable is the unique ??The Black Book of Secrets??, which requires {{path>D2B2}}.
If a {{path>D2}} ??Gygja?? (9 in 25) is the strongest available, with a ??Skull Staff?? it can still ??Summon Mound Fiend??, which has {{path>D3}}.
While possible, it is difficult to get ??Abominable Arms??. They are useful for holding multiple {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death booster staves.
=== Nature ===
{{path>N2}} ??Gygja?? (1 in 25) can create a ??Thistle Mace??. Getting to {{path>N2B3}} for ??Armor of Twisting Thorns?? requires boosters. (The {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood boosters require a {{path>B3}} ??Gygja?? (1 in 25).) Getting to {{path>N3S1}} for the ??Moonvine Bracelet?? also requires a (1 in 25) ??Gygja?? {{path>S1N1}}.
While possible, it is difficult to get ??Abominable Arms??. They are useful for holding multiple {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature booster staves.
=== Glamour ===
{{path>G3}} ??Gygja?? (1 in 25) can make a ??Gossamer Veil??. The other {{:misc:magic:glamour.png?15&nolink}}Glamour boosters EA Muspelheim has the crosspaths for also require more than just a ??Gossamer Veil?? to get to. So, empowerment is required to get to {{path>G5}} for an attempt at the unique ??Tome of Legends??.
=== Blood ===
{{path>B3}} ??Gygja?? (1 in 25) can start up the path of {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood. With boosters. ??Gygja?? potentially have the crosspaths to get the other unique {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood boosters but most likely require boosters to get there.
