====== EA Niefelheim, Sons of Winter ======
===== Lore =====
Niefelheim, the Land of Eternal Frost, was once the home of the frost giants. The Rimtursar, primordial giants of godlike powers, were the undisputed rulers of the world until a God of Thunder hunted and slew them. The giants of Jotunheim are the descendants of the Rimtursar. From the cold glaciers in Niefelheim, frost giants have emerged anew. These Niefel Giants are not nearly as powerful as their ancestors, but they are stronger by far than the giants of later ages. Giants are immensely strong and resilient, and the Jotuns are even stronger and tougher than other giant races. They are almost impervious to the cold of winter, but thunder and lightning still recognize their old quarry and the giants of the land greatly fear the wielders of lightning bolts. Niefelheim is ruled by several Jarls who rarely join forces. Gygjas, old and wicked hags, serve the Niefel giants with sorcerous advice. The people of Niefelheim prefer to live in very cold provinces. The icy winds of Niefelheim cause the cold climate to expand beyond the Dominion of the Pretender God.
//"[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//

{{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_bondi.png?nolink }} Most residents of Niefelheim 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:niefelheim:niefel_giant.png?nolink }} The **Niefel** (frost) Giants are **Size 9** beings, similar to titans but not quite as resilient. They cannot be hired where it's **not {{:misc:scales:cold.png?15&nolink}} Cold**, and they're far more capable in heavy Cold [[scales]] due to their {{:abilities:ice_protection.png?15&nolink}} **[[Ice Protection]]** and {{:abilities:cold_power.png?15&nolink}} **[[Cold Power]]**. Such is their affinity for ice that they're surrounded by a {{:abilities:chill_aura.png?15&nolink}} **[[Chill Aura]]**. Lastly, they have {{:abilities:resist_cold.png?15&nolink}} **25 [[Cold Resistance]]** and ignore {{:abilities:snow_move.png?15&nolink}} **Snow**. However, the Jotunar's unfortunate {{:abilities:vulnerability_shock.png?15&nolink}} **-5 [[shock-vulnerability|Shock Resistance]]** applies to the frost Giants too, since the two families share a common ancestor.

=====Magic Access=====
//See [[Magic Access]].// These guides supplement the summaries at the top.
=== Fire ===
**No native access.** {{path>B5}} can ??Bind Heliophagus?? for 1 in 4 {{path>F4}}.
{{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for 2 in 6 of at least {{path>F4}}.
=== Air ===
**No native access** except for the hero, ??Tjatse - Abductor??, who, in his ??Great Eagle#1382?? form, has {{path>A4}}.
{{path>W5D3}} can cast ??Ghost Ship Armada?? for a 1 in 3 chance of {{path>A2}}.
{{path>S4D1}} can cast ??Ether Gate?? for a 1 in 4 chance of {{path>A1}}.
{{path>N1G4}} can cast ??Faerie Court?? not in Cold for a 1 in 3 {{path>A1}} and in Cold for a 1 in 2 {{path>A1}}.
{{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for 1 in 6 of {{path>A5}}.
=== Water ===
{{path>W4}} ??Niefel Jarl?? (1 in 3) is the strongest recruitable {{:misc:magic:water.png?15&nolink}}Water mage available.
=== Earth ===
**No native access.** {{path>W3D1}} can cast ??Hidden in the Snow?? for a ~7 in 8 chance of {{path>E1}}.
{{path>N1G4}} can cast ??Faerie Court?? not in Cold for a 1 in 3 {{path>E1}} and in Cold for a 1 in 2 {{path>E1}}.
{{path>N3}} can cast ??Forest Troll Tribe?? for a 1 in 4 {{path>E1}}.
{{path>N5}} can cast ??Awaken Treelord?? for a 1 in 3 stationary {{path>E1}}.
{{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for 1 in 6 of {{path>E4}}.
=== Astral ===
??Gygja?? {{path>S2}} has ~1 in 25 chance, {{path>S1}} has ~9 in 25 chance. The {{path>S2}} ??Gygja?? can create a ??Starshine Skullcap??, and, with {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood boosters may be able to forge the unique ??The Oath Rod of Kurgi??, and then the unique ??The Trapped Dreams of Hruvur??. Missing any of the unique boosters or starting with an {{path>S1}} ??Gygja?? will necessitate empowering.
The hero, ??Angerboda - Great Hag??, has {{path>S3}}, can natively forge the unique ??The Oath Rod of Kurgi??. With a ??Starshine Skullcap?? and a ??Gossamer Veil??, both of which it can create itself, it can create the unique ??The Trapped Dreams of Hruvur??.
{{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for 1 in 6 {{path>S4}}.
=== Death ===
Increasing {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death requires luck when it comes to ??Gygja??s. Although, a {{path>D3}} ??Niefel Jarl?? (1 in 3) is much more likely to occur than a {{path>D3}} ??Gygja?? (~1 in 25), and so is the one to use to actually climb the path, the ??Gygja?? has useful crosspaths while the ??Niefel Jarl?? doesn't. The ??Gygja?? only requires {{path>D2B2}} (~2 in 25) for the unique ??The Black Book of Secrets??. A {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death booster is easier to get than a {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood booster.
The hero, ??Angerboda - Great Hag??, removes the luck and empowerments required to climb {{:misc:magic:death.png?15&nolink}}Death.
=== Nature ===
{{path>N2}} ??Gygja?? (~1 in 25) or {{path>N1}} (~9 in 25) is the only {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature recruitable. With {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood boosters, it can create an ??Armor of Twisting Thorns??. With a {{path>N1S1}} ??Gygja?? (1 in 25) and two {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature boosters, (??Thistle Mace?? and another ??Armor of Twisting Thorns??), it can create a ??Moonvine Bracelet??. {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature is a difficult climb.
The hero, ??Angerboda - Great Hag??, can forge many of the {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature boosters natively. They aren't even unique.
{{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for 1 in 6 of {{path>N4}}.
=== Glamour ===
{{path>G3}} ??Gygja?? (~1 in 25) can start the climb, but still needs a level of empowerment to get the unique ??Tome of Legends??. Getting the unique ??The Trapped Dreams of Hruvur??, a {{path>G2S1}} ??Gygja?? (~1 in 25) will need both a ??Gossamer Veil??, ??The Trapped Dreams of Hruvur??, and three {{:misc:magic:astral.png?15&nolink}}Astral boosters.
The hero, ??Angerboda - Great Hag??, can forge both a ??Gossamer Veil?? and a ??Starshine Skullcap??, which allows it to possibly create the unique ??The Trapped Dreams of Hruvur??. This gets it to {{path>G5}} and creating the unique ??Tome of Legends??.
{{path>B8}} can ??Bind Demon Lord?? for 3 in 6 of at least {{path>G4}}.
=== Blood ===
{{path>B3}} ??Jotun Skratti?? (1 in 4) starts at the key level, which makes the climb easy. A ??Gygja?? with the right crosspaths can help make the other {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood boosters.
The hero, ??Angerboda - Great Hag??, also starts at {{path>B3}} and also has the crosspaths to make the other {{:misc:magic:blood.png?15&nolink}}Blood boosters.
