Asgard

One of the Nine Worlds of Norse mythology; dwelling place of Odin and his Aesir (principal warrior gods). Asgard lay above the Earth or Midgard (middle world), and was reached by Bifrost, the rainbow bridge. Odin's halls included Valhalla, home of heroes slain in battle, and Valaskjalf where he watched over the Nine Worlds.

Odin and his 12 Aesir held council every day under Yggdrasil, the giant ash tree which held the Nine Worlds in place. The gods lived in the palace of Gladsheim, the goddesses in Vingolf.
