Description: The heavily fortified homeland of the Aesir, Asgard is the centrepiece of the Norse Gods' civilisation and the final home for only the greatest warriors who ever lived a place where they can eat, drink, revel and fight for eternity, at least until the day the final battle of Ragnarok begins.Population: Aesir Gods and the Einherjar.The land itself is dominated by the temple and the Light though there are ruins lining the outskirts that contain valuable treasures. Don't be surprised when the Dark Elves attack you immediately they are by nature a vicious and cruel race who kill outsiders indiscriminately while the Light Elves are mostly peaceful and stand-offish but still somewhat unsettling. When Light Elves rule the realm the light shines bright like a tower into the sky. When the dark elves are in charge the light barely comes out as a trickle as they horde it all inside of Freyr's Temple. Chief and greatest among the realm's landmarks is the legendary Light of Alfheim, which both sides fight to control. Then you witness a group of Dark Elves massacre a group of Light Elves and you realise that there's been a never-ending war raging here for longer than anyone can remember for no reason other than both sides want the other dead. ![]() Description: Upon first arriving in Alfheim you'd be forgiven for thinking that it was nicer than Midgard with it's lush forest terrain, tranquil waters and initially peaceful atmosphere.When the ice from the north met with the heat from the south, it created water and from this mystic water came the first being in the Norse cosmos to exist: Ymir, the progenitor to all living creatures and the first Frost Giant.Īfter Odin and his brothers killed Ymir, they fashioned his body to create the realm of Midgard, where humanity would live alongside most animals. The tree itself is said to exist beyond time and space and therefore, has no beginning but at one point there were only two realms in existence, Niflheim and Muspelheim, the lands of fire and ice. There are nine realms that exist among the branches of the World Tree.
