The Nine Realms Worldbuilding Project: Jotunheim

There are a few things I ask that you keep in mind:

• What little canon information we have on certain species is often silly and nonsensical (they weren’t thinking about mechanics–they were just trying to make it all look cool/scary). I’ll adapt what I like, but most of it’s getting thrown out the window.
• I’m not a biologist, nor am I aiming for the most biologically sound creatures. I will take some biology into account (lucianalight convinced me that it makes more sense for the Jötnar to be warm-blooded, for instance), but where biology hinders my headcanons I will overlook it.
• Despite the fact that I’m pretty sure it’s nonsense to create a world with a consistent planet-wide climate, I’m still going to. A lot.
• I’m going to be using our scientific terms and classifications because that’s an easy thing to do.
• This is for fun, and it’s all personal headcanons.

Summary: Loki doesn't die on Svartalfheim. A pity. He deserves death, and his cell no longer offers safety. Asgard clearly does not possess the strength to ward against Thanos.

There are other ways to stay safe. To protect Thor and Frigga, provided she recovers from her wounds. He could leave. He could take the Tesseract to someone the Mad Titan cannot match.

So Loki does.
