Question

After kidnapping a goddess and her apples of youth from this location, one figure died outside its gates (10[1])when his (-5[1])feathers lit on fire. A king who travels to this place finds an imaginary palace containing three men named High, Just-as-High, and Third. (-5[1])A watchman at this location’s entry (10[1])can hear the (-5[1])sound of grass and wool growing, (10[1])and is possibly the son of nine sisters. To sabotage the builder of this location’s walls, (10[1])a deity transformed into a mare to seduce (10[1])the (10[1])workhorse Svadilfari, leading to the birth of Sleipnir. This realm is connected by a rainbow bridge called (10[1])Bifröst to Midgard. For 10 points, name this Norse realm home to the Aesir gods like (10[1])Thor. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: Asgard [prompt on Bifröst by asking “that is the entry to what location?”; reject “Valhalla”]
