Vanaheim

Vanaheim is the realm of the Vanir, it lies somewhere to the west of Asgard.

Asgard and Midgard both end with the word -gard, or ‘enclosure,’ which links to the idea of innangard, and suggests that both realms are neatly ordered and self-contained. The fact that Vanaheim ends differently, with -heim, or ‘home,’ might suggest a more chaotic environment. This is probably because the Vanir were aligned with the natural world, which was considered less orderly than our structured, civilized society.
