Ysgard; Heroic Domains of Ysgard (Ees-Guard)

Description

Ysgard or, more formally, the Heroic Domains of Ysgard, is the Outer Plane of chaotic neutral/chaotic good alignment. It is also called Gladsheim, the Land of the Brave, and the Hero's Triumph.
The theme of Ysgard is the glory of heroic, individual struggle. According to myth, the twilight of the gods will begin on this plane. Ysgard is also a plane of inspiration and creativity. The Infinite Staircase has its beginning here, and true poetry is said to be found in giants' wells and the mead of the gods. The World Ash, Yggdrasil, has the most connections on this plane.
Ysgard is a place of raw elements, where rivers of earth, ice, and fire crash together in the howling sky, where waves crash in wild oceans. It's the homeland of the heroic Bariaurs, the Giants and their Gods, and the mystical Fensir.
As an outer plane, Ysgard is spatially infinite, further consisting of three infinite layers (or sub-planes). Ysgard’s first layer shares borders with the neighboring planes of Arborea, Limbo, and The Outlands; travel is possible between Ysgard and these planes at certain locations. Portals in Ysgard are wells in the earth. They are often marked, but tend to be unreliable.
Ysgard is well-known for its heavy connections to the plane-spanning tree Yggdrasil, the World Ash. Yggdrasil touches The Beastlands, Niflheim, the three layers of Asgard, Limbo, and Elysium, as well as many other locations. Its roots can be found drinking from the Well of Urd in the Realm of the Norns and from the Well of Mimir, and one emerges near the gate-town of Glorium. It also joins various half-worlds that touch nowhere else in the multiverse. High in the branches roosts the eagle Egder, and at its Niflheim root squirms the dragon Nidhogg and her brood of linnorms. The World Ash also hosts a major sentient race, the Ratatosks.

Layers

Ysgard
The first layer of Ysgard, also known as Ysgard or Gladsheim, takes the form of rivers of earth (or "earthbergs") stretching across the sky. On the larger earthbergs are oceans and continents. The underside of the earthbergs burns with fire and molten rock.
The layer of Ysgard is the location of a number of godly realms, including Surtr and Thrym's realm of Jotunheim, the Vanir realm of Vanaheim, and Aerdrie Faenya's realm of Aerie is sometimes found in Ysgard.
The realm of Ysgard on the first layer of Ysgard is the home of the Norse gods Odin, Frigga, Frey, Freya, Idun, and secondary realms of Loki and Tyr.
Muspelheim
Muspelheim, the second layer of Ysgard, is similar to the first layer of that plane in that it is made up of shifting rivers of earth that form vast arches through the sky. Unlike the first layer (Ysgard), the earth here is covered in lava and flames as hot as the Elemental Plane of Fire.
Surtr, god of fire giants, dwells on this layer; within it is a portal to the Elemental Plane of Water known as the Silver Eye. There is a fortress built by celestials called the Tower of War Triumphant; it guards a portal to The Abyss known as the Black Maw. Somewhere on the layer there is said to be a portal to the Para-Elemental Plane of Ice.
Nidavellir
Nidavellir is the third layer of Ysgard, a subterranean realm of caves and underground passages. The terrain on this chaotic plane shifts unpredictably, so caverns and byways may open and close.
A realm of magic-savvy dwarves, also called Nidavellir, is located on this layer of the plane; the dwarven god Muamman Duathal lives there when he's not wandering, and the dwarven goddess Sharindlar has a ring of standing stones nearby. It's rumored that the Norse god Hoder dwells here as well. The city of Ashbringer, also known as the Great Bellows and the Chorus of Ringing Anvils, is located in the dwarven realm of Nidavellir. Svartalfheim is a realm of chaotic neutral dark elves; the goddess Eilistraee dwells there. These dark elves are foes of the Asgardian dwarves.
Brassberg, the realm of the draconic god Aasterinian, is found here as well.
