Muspell Flame-Warrior

The myth

In the accounts of Ragnarök, the sons of Muspell come from the south, riding behind Surtr with fire before and behind them. Snorri says that when they cross Bifröst, the rainbow bridge breaks beneath their horses. In the Völuspá a ship comes from the east bearing the people of Muspell, with Loki at the helm. The sources never describe these warriors one by one: they are simply a burning host. The Muspell Flame-Warrior is a MYTHENOR creation giving a face to one soldier of that army of the end.

Why it has this power

A level 5 Uncommon with ATK 1750 and DEF 1300: offensive, like an army that comes to burn. Fire element, under Sun and Hammer. A good bearer for the Runic Bearded Axe and the Belt of Strength, but beware: in the Halls of Valhöll, Fire cards grow weaker.

Did you know

Snorri says that Bifröst, though the strongest of bridges, would break when the sons of Muspell rode over it.
