Asgard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, Asgard is the home of the gods (the Æsir and the Vanir). It is a different place than the home of the mortals, Midgard.
Odin rules both these realms, Asgard and Midgard, as the All-Father.
The plain of Idavoll is the centrer of Asgard. The Æsir meet there talk about important issues. The male gods meet in a hall called Gladsheim. The female goddesses in a hall called Vingólf.
It is also an advanced alien race in the science fiction series Stargate SG-1.
