Bjarmaland

During the Ragnarok Era, Bjarmaland is the name for what would be (much of) Russia. The land is home to numerous native tribes as well as settlers from Sviarland (in Holmgard). It is divided into several loosely defined regions, made more nebulous by the nomadic nature of many of the native tribes.

Bjarmaland has always held a fairly sparse population due to its harsh winter climate, proximity to the fearsome Midgard Wall, and its substantial number of natural predators.

A little over a hundred years ago, a tribe in Taraz, the Huns, swept across the land (eventually conquering what became Hunaland), displacing the Aesir from Kiovia as well as causing other disruptions. The Hunnish migration was due in part to the arrival of jotunnar through a breach in the Midgard Wall.

In recent years, an increasing number of jotunnar have come across the Midgard Wall and established their own petty kingdoms within Bjarmaland. Among the greatest of these, Hymir controls much of the Kiovia region.

Due to the added pressure on human civilization from these jotunnar, most of humanity within Bjarmaland has begun to fail. This, in turn, has led to the jotunnar continuing to spread further into Midgard.

## **Inspiration Notes**

Bjarmaland appears in Norse sagas as a realm located in modern Russia, probably along the White Sea. In the case of *The Ragnarok Era*, I use the name to represent almost all of Russia up to the Ural Mountains (where the Midgard Wall separates the world from Utgard).
Gods of the Ragnarok Era

Gods of the Ragnarok Era is a series of three planned trilogies (9 books total) following the rise and fall of the Aesir dynasty. Initially a semi-nomadic society of mortals, the Aesir march on Vanaheim and overthrow the Vanir, becoming worshipped as the new gods of Midgard.

The series primarily follows the journey of Odin as he rises to kingship and then becomes obsessed with preventing or at least winning Ragnarok.

Ragnarok Era

*I was there, when the world ended.*

*It has happened before—the end of an era. But not like this. Not like this …*

*It began in the East, far from here, in lands we called the Skyfall Isles. In our arrogance, we thought ourselves the children of gods. We fought our wars, on and on, down through the ages, believing ourselves masters of the world. And those wars wrecked more havoc than we might have ever imagined.*

*The Astral Temple was breached.*

*I saw it, as the frozen mists of the underworld seeped into our reality. Back then, no one could have imagined they would spread to cover an entire world with their poisons, blocking the sun and trapping us in the cold.*

*Nor had we yet begun to suspect the* other *effects of this mist or the horrors they would unleash upon the last remnants humanity.*

*So few of us remain now.*

*I tried as best I could to save what people I met. I thought, somehow, I might guide them back into the warmth. That we might reclaim our world from the merciless elements. That I might be … absolved of my part in all of this.*

*I was wrong.*

*—Chandi, to Idunn*

At the end of the prior era, the freezing mists escaped the spirit world of Niflheim and polluted the Earth. Though the rift was closed, the mists did their work, creating a hellish ice age in which the temperature across the world dropped by around fifteen degrees. In such conditions, snows in the northern parts of the world never melt.

Humanity now lives primarily in the so-called Middle World: Midgard.

Winters last longer than normal and harsh storms wrack the land. Mankind is slowly dying out, especially in the North Realms. Glaciers slowly spread from the poles, covering the Earth. Prehistoric animals roam the wilds.

And the dead walk.

The mists themselves are toxic to humans, poisoning not their bodies, but their minds and souls. These same mists are also home to supernatural terrors such as trolls and draugar. Only flame can hold back the mist, forcing humanity to huddle around bonfires for warmth and protection, never knowing what terrors lurk beyond the firelight.

As the name implies, the era draws heavy influence from Norse mythology, reimagining  these classic myths within the frame of this dark fantasy world. Additionally, the Ragnarok Era pulls from other Germanic myths, as well as Finnish and Inuit mythology.

## Series

* Gods of the Ragnarok Era
* Legends of the Ragnarok Era
* Runeblade Saga
Utgard

Beyond the Midgard Wall lie realms never tamed by the Vanir—Utgard. For those born in Midgard, the wilds of Utgard represent lands of fear and chaos, always threatening to breach into the known world and consume it.

Into Utgard, the Vanir banished the jotunnar and numerous other beasts of chaos. Here, these mythic beings flourish, building their own kingdoms and oft as not, simmering in cold fury at the lands the Vanir denied to them.

Here too, lays the unfathomable Serkland Caliphate, perpetual foe of the kingdoms of the South Realms.

## **Inspiration Notes**

Utgard means something like “outer world” (compare with Midgard “Middle World” and Asgard “Ás World”). It is the world or stronghold of the jotunnar, possibly the same as Jotunnheim, or possibly (as I suppose in *The Ragnarok Era*) a greater region surrounding that realm.
Eschaton Cycle Wiki

## About the Eschaton Cycle

Created by Matt Larkin, the Eschaton Cycle retells myths, legends, and fairytales within a dark fantasy framework. The stories cover numerous book series.

As the name implies, the universe undergoes a cyclical apocalypses roughly every 5200 years. Each era has its own unique theme or flavor, with the final (or most recent) era being roughly equated to the real world. Prior eras are kind of like Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age in that they take place in a mythic prehistory of Earth.

Yggdrasil

The Tree of Life or World Tree exists in a physical location in the Mortal Realm and the corresponding location within the Astral Realm. Within the Mortal Realm, it lies on the larger of the two islands of Asgard.

However, it also touches all the worlds of the Spirit Realm, effectively connecting most of the cosmos. It serves to hold the worlds in place and help regulate the flow of pneuma between them. Moreover, it functions as a hub for the Wheel of Fate.

Idunn tells Odin her people used to call it **Djambo Barros**, and it presumably has held many other names throughout the ages.

Yggdrasil spans a great chasm where its roots reach into untold depths. A single bridge grants access, one traditionally guarded by Lytir and Ratatoskr (before Odin kills them both in *The Shores of Vanaheim*).

Each leaf on the tree bears the mark (glyph) of a single soul. When that person dies, the leaf falls. During an epic battle (*The Shores of Vanaheim*), when many people fall at once, the Aesir witness hundreds of leaves drifting down. Idunn, however, claims one could not otherwise cut down a leaf even with a sword.

## **Inspiration Notes**

Yggdrasil is the World Tree in Norse mythology, connecting the Nine Worlds. Midgard is usually in the center, with Asgard above it. Various monsters and animals live in the tree or under its roots, such as the dragon Nidhogg, who is consuming the roots.

I also obviously draw inspiration from other mythological *axis mundi* type trees, such as the Tree of Life found in numerous religions.
South Realms

While the North Realms consist of related cultures without a central authority, the South Realms are almost diametrically opposite. Several unrelated cultures have been subsumed into two mighty empires—Miklagard and Valland.

In turn, both of these empires struggle against the arguably even more powerful Serkland Caliphate that lies beyond the Middle Sea, in Utgard.

## Lands

* Andalus
* Miklagard
* Valland

Midgard

Midgard is the so-called Middle World enclosed within the Midgard Wall, divided into the North Realms and South Realms. It is the world of mankind, protected long ago by the Vanir. The Midgard Wall holds back the chaos of Utgard, most notably the jotunnar whom the Vanir banished long ago.

The Midgard Wall runs along the route of the Ural Mountains, then continues south, wrapping around the Hyrcanian Sea and running up to the Middle Sea.

## Inspirations

In Norse myth, Midgard might refer to both the world and the wall that protects that world. Traditionally, the wall is made from Ymir’s eyebrows, and the world from his body. This wall protects mankind from the other eight worlds, which are largely invisible despite touching our world. Midgard is located in the middle of Yggdrasil.
