Welcome To Asgard

Heimdall... Watcher of the Rainbow Bridge

Watchman on the Rainbow Bridge, Bifrost, Heimdall guarded the approach to Asgard, and for this his senses were razor-sharp, his eyes so keen that he could see the wool growing on the backs of sheep, though they were at the other side of the world, and his ears so acute that he could hear grass growing. Heimdall carried a great battlehorn, whose sounding was to signal the final battle, Ragnarok as the giants from Jotunheim swarmed across Bifrost, into Asgard.

Asgard was the abode of Odin and the Aesir, and was reached from Midgard via the Rainbow Bridge, Bifrost. In Asgard were two mansions: Gladsheim, where the gods lived, and Vingolf, wherein dwelt the goddesses. Here also was the Hall of Heroes, Valhalla, where those mortals who had fallen heroicly in battle were received by Odin, or Freya, his wife. Also in Asgard were Elfheim, where the elves dwelt; Brediablick, abode of Balder the Beautiful; Himinbiorg, the tower of Thor, and Valaskialf, watchtower of the All-Father Odin.
Aesir is the collective name for the twelve great gods of Norse legend, they who lived in Asgard, and with the All-Father Odin, ruled the lives of mortal men. They were:- Thor, Balder, Freya, Tyr, Bragi, Hodur, Heimdall, Vithar, Vili, Ullr, Ve and Forseti. Their thrones were in Gladsheim, one of the two mansions of Asgard.
