The Norse name for the realm of the gods is Asgard. This celestial realm is home to the principal gods and is often depicted as a magnificent place with golden halls resting above the Earth. Asgard serves as the setting for many myths and stories involving deities such as Odin, Thor, and Freyja. Its connections to valor, glory, and the protection of humanity root it deeply in Norse mythology. Asgard is accessed by the Bifrost, a rainbow bridge that links it to other realms, illustrating the interconnectedness of the cosmos.
