    There are two halls for the fallen: Valhalla and Folkvangr. Folkvangr was Freya's Hall, and fallen warriors were divided between her and Odin upon arrival. The warriors of Valhalla would charge into battle during Ragnarok as the Einharjar, while the warriors of Folkvangr would remain as the last line of defence

    That's actually Frigg, Odin's first wife. With Freya, Odin has to give half the scholars, poets, musicians, and artists, who Odin would have welcomed into Gladsheim. Freya collects half for Vanaheim as part of the treaty that ended the Aesir-Vanir War, a treaty that was sealed contractually with her marriage to Odin. Common misconception. Also, anyone who dies at sea is the property of the sea giant Aegir, who Odin is on good terms with and likes to keep it that way. I'm not sure if that's all the halls of the fallen, there could be more. Everyone who a deity or giant hasn't called dibs on automatically goes to Hel, ruled over by Hela, which isn't horrible, but it's not Valhalla either. You just get to rest and not suffer unless Hela needs you for something.

    Midgard - middle land - middle earth. Tolkein got a lot from norse mythology Edit: coming back to this after a few years I have since found out middle earth was likely from an anglo saxon poem called "the wanderer" which directly mentions "this middle earth" Also the silmarilian specifically has tons of influence directly from Norse mythology But like the comments say, he got a lot of stuff from Norse, anglo saxon, Greek and other sources as well

    Yes, but not exclusively. Tolkien was a lover of legends, myths, history, and any good story really (a man after my own heart). The various epic battle scenes are based on his first hand experience serving in the first World War. He also studied Biblical legends, including one about the Spear of Destiny, which is where we got that scene with Aragorn using a sword to command an army of ghosts. And the one ring is really an amalgam of ring legends, including not just Norse, but an old Greek tale called the Ring of Gyges, which is where we get the whole invisibility thing and the mind becoming corrupted. The Greek tale is worth a look, it's actually contributed to an ancient philosophical debate that hasn't been fully answered to this day. Sorry this was long, I'm just a huge nerd for this stuff.

    We have 9 worlds in our solar system do you think their is any connection or is it just random chance? A under-laying reality or dimension perhaps located at the positions of these worlds in our solar system or does the tree present a series of solar systems or universes. How literal should the lore be taken?What way should they be interpreted or should we abandon more new age concepts and embrace such lore literally? and such lore could of been presented by the gods to ancient Europeans in such way that it could of been more easily understood in those times.

    Dwarves are more of a Germanic concept overall, changing by region. In German folklore/mythology the dwarves appear in art similar to how they are imagined in more Tolkienian-ese writings (short, stout, bearded, and pale. Nothing like the more ethereal Dokkalfar/Svartalfar.) Though they still turn into stone if the sun comes up. There is also debate as to whether the Svartalfar and Dokkalfar are the same or different.

They live in niflheim the first realm and rule it after the giants left. Dwarfs are...apost to be mortal creatures and believe it or not big ..like sub giants hah but to be fair dwarfs have it bad cause no one understands them or what they fall in to. Besides they're closer to man than vana.

    Nice catch, the gard actually roughly translates to "garden" in ancient Norse. That's a language that's hard for people to pick up on, mind you. I'm half Swedish and a quarter German and devoted myself to the faith of my Norse ancestors, but even I have difficulty sometimes when the terms and names, what with being raised to speak in a modern English tongue. Norse languages, particularly the older ones, are rune based and often have sounds and symbols that just don't have an easy one to one translation into any language whose origins are remotely Latin. The confusion works both ways and was the very reason the Norse were called barbarians by the Romans, because, like the Germanic tribes, whenever they tried speaking Latin, the result sounded something like "Bar Bar Bar!" I still can't find a word processor that accounts for the language or runes, so everybody give the guy a break.

    Norse mythology really is one of the most fleshed out and intricate/interesting creation theories. To make a full-fledged quality game containing all the described worlds in detail would be daunting, but whichever studio achieved it would attain legendary status. I wonder if the holds of skyrim are supposed to resemble some of the worlds? Whiterun would probably represent Asgard, Windhelm would be Jotunheim, and so on.

    Svartalfheim wasnt the home of the dark elves and/or the dwarves, although i suppose it sort of was home to both... see, the dark elves and the dwarves were one and the same. "The lines between the dwarves, elves, and dead humans are very blurry. The dwarves are occasionally called “black elves” (Old Norse svartálfar),and in some instances they’re described as being dead or resembling human corpses." (norse-mythology.org/gods-and-creatures/dwarves/) Svartalfheim was home to the dwarves, who were also called Black/Dark Elves.

    Sometimes I like to entertain the idea that the world we live in is the result of Ragnarok, and that the Earth literally is the nine realms forged together in Surt’s fires unleashed upon the end which our solar system was brought into being. Of course, such an event may have been the moment the universe was born, the world tree’s trunk and roots still remaining with all its branches slowly growing back so vast, we cannot even comprehend it at all though we may see it every time we look upon the stars. Perhaps the galaxies themselves may be the leaves of the tree’s crown, ever expanding outwards. Or it may all just be our primitive minds trying to make sense of it all. Yeah, Norse mythology can truly put you in a quite deep mindset, which is why I love it so much. 😄

    Wasn’t it because Thor was viewed as a title for those who could lift Mjolnir, and original Thor lost his ability to do so? And doesn’t she have an interesting character arc of it making her breast cancer worse every time she becomes Thor? And hasn’t she also had multiple experiences with Asgard and Thor? Like, I know its easy to hate Marvel for being feminist SJW cucks or whatever, but it sounds more like sensationalism than anything.

    The description of Helheim makes it sound like it has very little to with it's entomological descendant, Hell. If it is not a place of punishment for most dead souls, then the idea that it - and Hel - is actually reasonably pleasant, at least to common folk. That at least would be a concept I would find fascinating if someone made use of in a piece of fiction - depicting Helheim as being totally different from what people think it is - instead of being a terrible place (an aspersion cast on it by Christianity), it is actually a soothing and restful place for souls, ruled by a benevolent but remote divine ruler.
