Norse Cosmology

This page is meant to be an overview of Norse cosmology. We do not use WoD Cosmology. Please read this.

Asguard
Asguard is the land of the Aesir, the male gods, and of the Einherjar. Einherjar are not just men.

Vane-heim
Land of the Vanir, Female gods. No direct relation to any other WoD Cosmology.

Midgard
The land of Humans. Twilight exists overtop it, but Norse mythology has no real word for twilight. Nor for Shadow or Gauntlet. However Shadow, Gauntlet and Twilight work as normal in WoD.

Svart-alf-heim
Land of the dwarves. For our purposes this is the land of the goblins from Changeling.

Clarification: Changelings do not come from here, they come from Alf-Heim. Goblins ala Goblin Market come from here. There is no way to directly connect the hedge to anything in norse cosmology so this is not necessarily the hedge. The hedge is wibbly wobbly somewhere between Midgard, Alfheim and Svart-alfheim.

Hel-Heim
Hell. Land of the unworthy Souls. Direct relation to WoD Cosmology in that this is the Underworld.

Alf-Heim
Land of the Elves. For our purposes this is Arcadia, land of the Gentry.

Nifl-Heim
Land of Ice. Sits above hel-heim. It is a dangerous place, as the shambling dead like to roam here.

Muspells-heim
Land of Fire, Home of the Jotunn, Giants that rivaled the Aesir.

Yggdrasil
The world tree. Source of all life. The mages do not visit Supernal Realms, they visit Yggdrasil, the center of 'all'. They get their power from here too.
