| Being a nation primarily populated by Giants, your Longdead ??Reanimation?? will mix in ??Longdead Giant??s with normal undead humans. Why they can raise Longdead Humans in their own lands is a mystery, though they might all be Serfs from [[vanheim-ea|Niefelheim's enemy]]. The same might be true for ??Soulless Giant??s and normal Soulless. | Being a nation primarily populated by Giants, your Longdead ??Reanimation?? will mix in ??Longdead Giant??s with normal undead humans.

| ===== Magic ===== | ===== Magic ===== |
| |
| ==== Magic Access ==== | ==== Magic Access ==== |
| |
| You can be high in paths but a lot of power comes from communions. Niefel Jarl is constantly the strongest Water and Death Mage but expensive, with Skratti and Gygja being cost-efficient. Skratti constantly have {{path>W3}}, {{path>B3}}. Gygja Often gets 2s in Sorcerery paths. | In combat, Niefelheim has easy access to arbitrarily high path magic through hardy Skratti communions. |
| |
| with boosters you can consistently get {{path>W5}}, {{path>S3}}, {{path>D4}}, {{path>N6}}, {{path>B6}} without communions. | Niefelheim has access to the following paths for the purposes of rituals and forging: |
| |
| ??Naiad??s gives you strong Water Nature cross paths. | **Elemental** |
| | * No {{misc:magic:fire.png?14&nolink}}fire magic |
| | * {{path>A1}} on Niefel Jarls. {{path>A3}} can eventually be reached through ??Faerie Court?? |
| | * {{path>W4}} on Niefel Jarls, {{path>W7}} via a ??Water Bracelet??, ??Robe of the Sea?? and ??Queen of Elemental Water?? |
| | * No {{misc:magic:earth.png?14&nolink}}earth magic |
| |
| Although Niefel Jarl can get air, ??Faery Queen??s gives you constant {{path>A3}}. | **Sorceries** |
| | * {{path>S2}} on Gygjas, {{path>S3}} via a ??Starshine Skullcap?? |
| | * {{path>D3}} on Gygjas and Niefel Jarls, {{path>D4}} via a ??Skull Staff?? |
| | * {{path>N3}} on Gygjas, {{path>N6}} via ??Thistle Mace??, ??Moonvine Bracelet??, ??Armor of Twisting Thorns?? |
| | * {{path>B3}} on Gygjas, more through empowerment and various boosters. |
| |
| Although it's more expensive than finding an Indie shaman but ??Troll Shaman?? and ??Spectral Mage?? has the chance to give some earth. | ==== National spells==== |
| ==== National spells and Summons==== | **Combat** |
| **??Sloth of Bears??**: Conj3 {{gems>8N}} {{path>N2}} ({{:nations:ea:niefelheim:great_bear.png?20&nolink}} ??Great Bear??x10+). Large balls of HP for nature gems and you already have plenty of that.\\ | |
| |
| **??Awaken Jotun Draugar??:** Conj4 {{gems>15D}} {{path>D2}} ( {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_Draug.png?20&nolink}} ??Jotun Draug??x3). summon uneaded giants with [[fear]] and [[chill aura]] and hit harder when at half heath. Suiational pick over summoning 5 ??Wigth??s, with Jotun Draug better at the grind game.\\ | Niefelheim does not have any national combat spells. |
| |
| **??Brood of Garm??**: Conj4 {{gems>10N}} {{path>N2}} ({{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_wolf.png?20&nolink}} ??Jotun Wolf??x5). Giant [[Sacred]] [[Stealthy]] Damage Dealing Wolfs with [[Fear]] and [[Berserker]]. Useful to suplement your numbers during a early war. \\ | **Rituals** |
| |
| **??Summon Rimvaettir??**: Conj5 {{gems>5W}} {{path>W2}} ({{:nations:ea:niefelheim:Rimvaetti.png?20&nolink}} ??Rimvaetti#3420??x5+). Neflel giants but goblin size. They are a must-have for a frontline, as you get 3 [[chill aura]]s and attacks per square by mixing them with your giants, fixing their outnumbered problem. \\ | * Conjuration 3 {{path>N2}} for {{gems>8N}}: **??Sloth of Bears??** ( {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:great_bear.png?nolink}} ??Great Bear??×10+)\\ HP-dense summons with high strength. Not particularly deadly or survivable on their own. |
| | * Conjuration 4 {{path>D2}} for {{gems>15D}}: **??Awaken Jotun Draugar??** ( {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_draug.png?nolink}} ??Jotun Draug??×3)\\ Very expensive summons, notable mostly for their HP and fear aura. Shapeshifts into a bigger, stronger ??Jotun Draug#3194?? below 40 HP. |
| | * Conjuration 4 {{path>N2}} for {{gems>10N}}: **??Brood of Garm??** ( {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:jotun_wolf.png?nolink}} ??Jotun Wolf??×5)\\ Giant [[sacred]] [[stealthy]] wolves that go [[berserker|berserk]] and have a [[fear]] aura. |
| | * Conjuration 5 {{path>W2}} for {{gems>5W}}: **??Summon Rimvaettir??** ( {{:nations:ea:niefelheim:Rimvaetti.png?nolink}} ??Rimvaetti#3420??×5+)\\ Cheap, massable sources of chill aura. Like Niefel Giants, they can quickly put non-cold resistant enemies to sleep. However, they are much less mobile than Jotuns and Niefels both in combat and on the strategic map. |
