Asgard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, Asgard is the home of the gods (the Æsir). It is a different place than the home of the mortals, Midgard.
Odin rules both these realms, Asgard and Midgard, being the god of gods, the "head honcho" of the Viking lands.
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.
