Angles

• Open on the elements — fire, ice, and the void between — and build the map as the story unfolds
• One on-screen map: Muspelheim (fire), Niflheim (ice), Ginnungagap (void), then the giant Ymir
• From Ymir's body to the world; the tree Yggdrasil linking nine realms
• Source honesty: the myth reaches us through medieval Icelandic texts (Prose and Poetic Edda)

Beat-by-beat structure

1. Hook (0:00–0:30): before the gods there was only fire, ice, and a yawning gap.
2. Map part 1 (0:30–2:00): Muspelheim's heat meets Niflheim's rivers freezing into Ginnungagap.
3. First beings (2:00–3:30): the giant Ymir and the cow Audhumla; the first gods emerge.
4. World-building (3:30–5:00): Odin and his brothers shape earth, sky, and seas from Ymir's body.
5. Yggdrasil (5:00–6:30): the world tree, its roots, wells, and nine realms; Aesir vs Vanir in one card.
6. Sources + recap (6:30–7:30): Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda; what's reconstruction. Original narration only.
