Description
One enters this plane across a long bridge, called the Bifrost. Crossing it and gaining entrance brings the traveler to the first layer, called Himinborg
This is a land of green prairies surrounded by a great body of water, much like Elysium. It is a land where many good warriors go when they die.
Unlike many other planes, one can travel to any of the other layers os Asgard from its first layer. One does not progress through Asgard. One travels to its destinations via its non-hierarchical configuration.
