Himinbjörg

The Himinbjörg is the gatehouse to the Nine Realms, housing the Bifrost controls.

It is also the home of the Gatekeeper.

Purpose / Function

To monitor those coming and going into Asgard via the Bifrost, and to house the Gatekeeper. The Himinbjörg is therefore Asgard's first line of defence against attacks from other Realms.

History

Construction on the Himinbjörg was begun under Cul, but wasn't completed until after Odin's coup.

Alterations and improvements were made by Heimdall and Odin throughout the early years of Odin's reign.
