Asgard (Earth-21399)

Overview
Properly speaking, the name “Asgard” refers both to the city that houses most of the Aesir, the ruling gods of Norse mythology, and the landmass upon which it stands. In the cosmology of Yggdrasil, Asgard is located near the very top of the branches. It is represented by the rune ᚨ, which refers to the Aesir.

Points of Interest

 * Bilskirnir: Thor's hall, where he lives with his wife, Sif. It boasts a sizable farm, which includes a wheat field and goat pens.
 * Folkvang: Built by the Vanir princess Freya after her move into Asgard, Folkvang is a mighty hall that serves as a barracks for the Valkyrior.
 * Noatun: Built by the Vanir king Njord after his move into Asgard, Noatun is the naval barracks of Asgard. It serves as the starting point from which the Einherjar practice sea warfare, and it also houses their mightiest ship, Skidbladnir.
 * Valhalla: The central attraction of Asgard is a huge barracks comprised of 540 rooms, each capable of holding 800 warriors. The food and drink of Valhalla, when properly prepared, regenerates wounds and can even raise the dead. In the event an Einherjar is completely obliterated during the battle, Odin can always bring them back using the tried-and-tested “Ask and Embla” method of carving their form into a wooden log and breathing the dead man's soul into it with the Runeforce.
 * Hlidskjalf: Odin's monarchical longhouse and throne room, nested on the highest peak in Asgard. Hlidskjalf houses an observatory that is only accessible from Odin's throne, and which enables the Allfather to see all that goes on in the Nine Realms. Deep inside the mountain itself lies Odin's Vault, which doubly serves as a treasury and a storehouse for the most dangerous weapons and artifacts of the Nine Worlds, including the Destroyer and Odin's Oversword, Balmung.
