Jotun is human controlled, has a base slave income of 3, a blood magic 40 (!) site, and starts with two W3B2 mages. It's a setup that practically screams Ice Devil. I'm not sure if he decided to go that route, but I chose a somewhat ineficient path to start with (I'm a Mictlan newbie), so if he did he could have easily beaten me to most of them.
Indeed, underestimate Jotunheim on this map at your own peril. The Triple Peaks province is all things considered the single best place for ritual magic in the world as it has gem reducing effects for several paths, all of them with magic that Jotunheim commonly uses. Not quite as specialised as some nations get, but certainly nothing to ignore.

As for Ermor, if Ermor controls three starting capitals, it is perfectly reasonable for a few other players on his borders to unite to take him down. Especially considering the very, very, powerful sites under Ermor's control. Not attempting to do so would likely be suicidal in the long run if Ermor is already pushing dominion. The real question is why Ermor does not have any allies.

Surely, there must be somebody bordering those dastardly attackers, who disrespect the imperial way of unlife, who would be willing to take a province or three while the armies are away fighting the risen dead. Perhaps if Ermor sent them a gift?
