Who is Karnilla?

Queen of Nornheim Nornheim is an Asgardian province where the Three Norns , the goddesses of destiny dwell. Though Nornheim is located in Asgardian land mass within Asgard's dimension, Nornheim is an independent country. Apparently, Karmilla does not consider herself to be subject to Asgardian rule even though she is Asgardian herself. Karnilla lives lavishly in the ancient fastness of Nornkeep , attended by her servant, the aged minor sorceress Haag , and troops of guardian demons. Although there are many demons among her subjects, Karnilla's realm is populated by humanoid immortals, just as is Asgard proper. Karnilla's relationship to the goddesses of destiny is unknown, although they are clearly beyond her jurisdiction. History Karnilla has at many times allied herself with Loki in his plans against his siblings but she first appeared to stop her future love's, Balder , assassination by Loki. Loki retaliated by "convincing" her to give him some magic from the Norns but she accidentally used it on Wrecker from the Wrecking Crew .
