Ásgard, Enclosure of the Æsir (ˈɑːsˌɡɑrðz̠)

Home of the Æsir, created and ruled by the Allfather, Lord SAYFAN and the Allmother, Lady FRIGG

Created & Written by Khali A. Crawford

The Æsir and Ásgardians

All Æsir are Asgardians, but not all Ásgardians are Æsir. The term Æsir refers to blood relatives of the Allfather and his kin. Ásgardians are the native species of sentient beings that were born when Sayfan created his Realm. They have a fundamental right to Ásgard and submitted to Sayfan and his kin as a co-dependent relationship.

Geography

The center of Ásgard is the Plains of Ida, the Realm that serves as the capital and where the Allfather built his great city, Glaðsheimr (Bright Home). Within this Realm, at its apex, lies the hall Valaskjalf, a silver tower that houses the Allfather's throne, Hlidskjalf. All of the various Realms within Ásgard lead back to the Plains of Ida and each other centrally. The Realms are protected by a Light Barrier, woven by the elders of the Light Elves to discourage travel in or out freely. The outermost shell of the Realm is the Wall of Ásgard, built with help from the Jötunar, it encases the Miniverse and is manned by Heimdall, the First Son of the Sea, and his Watchman Guard. The Realm Himinbjörg overlaps with Ásgard and the rest of Yggdrasil, making it the only natural point of egress. The Wall of Asgard is all that stands between wanderers in Himinbjörg and the home of the Æsir.

Natural Resources

• Ásgardian Ore; A special type of material that can be naturally mined on almost every Realm within Ásgard, exclusively. Produces high-quality steel for weaponry and armaments capable of withstanding far more punishment than Mortal metals. Provides natural defense against divine wrath.
• Æsirian Livestock; livestock and beasts of burden from Ásgard are much larger than their Mortals counterparts, on account of Ásgardians being larger than Mortals on average. These animals are immune to mortal ailments and provide supernatural benefits to those who consume them.
• Ýdalirian Timber; Wood collected from the vast forest of Lord Ullr, Ýdalirian Timber is hardy and long-lasting, if properly maintained. It excels at containing magical energy but is especially difficult to carve and shape.
• Blitz-Stone Ingot; mined from the shafts of Þrúðheimr, Blitz-Stone is an ore that has been stewing in a cosmic storm brewed by Lord Thor for longer than most stars. It contains a small amount of divine lighting and is extremely electromagnetic. Modern-day Rail guns forged with this ore are especially potent.
