Midgard- Realm of Humans

This realm was created by Odin to house the first man, Ask, and the first woman, Emlba, who were made from an ash and an elm tree respectively, and these two went on to give birth to all mankind. It is located somewhere around the middle of Yggdrasil.

Midgard is a realm inhabited by a race known as humans and is surrounded by the great serpent Jörmungandr who is wrapped around the entire universe submerged in an impassable wall of water. The waters that are pulled towards Jörmungandr’s body and encase him in the wall of water that surrounds Midgard. The excess waters produced by the river Iving, the Urdarbrunnr; Well of Destiny, Mímisbrunnr; Well of Wisdom and Hvergelmir; The Well of Origin flow down towards Midgard and gravitate towards Jörmungandr’s body, bathing his body and tempering it with their mystical properties both inside and out as well as imbuing him with several abilities as well as enhancing his already existing ones. Like all Jötunn and most half breeds, he has a deep-seated hatred for the gods, mostly due to Odin separating him from his family and imprisoning his brother and sister.

Some of the planets in Midgard are inhabited by humans, half breeds, monsters which are either native to Midgard or have found their way there due to accidentally falling through one of the numerous pathways that connects all the realms to each other and Valkyries in training while the rest are uninhabitable due to either war, monsters or the conditions of the planet. Majority of the humans have a blind devotion to the gods and each have a unique way of serving them which led to war between the worlds when they found a way to reach each other via the Brúa Bilid (those who bridge the gap) who are able to open portals that connect one planet to the other. Only one Brúa Bilid can exist on a planet at a time, and this ability is hereditary, however once the offspring is born, the parent dies. Their power has been harnessed by the leaders of their worlds, being used to open a portal from one planet to another in order to conquer new worlds. The largest empire is the Gud Hrygnir (God Spawn) who have existed for several thousands of years and conquered a majority of Midgard and firmly believe that the nobles are descended from the gods, with the lesser nobles being the offspring of Valkyries, the mid nobles being the offspring of lesser Aesir and Vanir while the King and Queen are descended from Odin, Thor and such.

The gods of Asgard are able to journey to Midgard via the Bifrost, a burning rainbow bridge that ends in heaven at Himinbjörg, the residence of the god Heimdallr or send avatars down when invoked by their priests, priestesses or those that they have favored. Like all the other realms, Midgard will be destroyed at Ragnarök; the battle at the end of the world will begin when Jörmungandr arises from the waters and starts devouring world after world, leaving nothing in his wake but death and decay. The final battle between Thor and Jörmungandr will take place in the newly created universe of Vígríðr and eventually shift to Midgard which will be destroyed along with all life in it. Everything will sink beneath the waves caused by Jörmungandr.

Whatever doesn’t sink will be obliterated due to the clash between the world serpent and Thor. In the aftermath, when all the realms lay dead and decaying, Yggdrasil will awaken and reset everything, thus starting everything all over again. But before this happens, Nidhogg will feed on the corpses of the deities, giants and monsters, growing stronger before it burrows back into Yggdrasil’s body before the reset happens.
