Question

After kidnapping a goddess and her apples of youth from this location, one figure died outside its gates when his feathers lit on (10[1])fire. (10[1])A king who travels to this place finds an imaginary palace containing three men named High, Just-as-High, and Third. A watchman at this location’s entry can (10[1])hear the sound of grass and wool (-5[1])growing, and is possibly the son of nine sisters. To sabotage the builder of this (10[2])location’s walls, (-5[1])a deity transformed into a mare to seduce the workhorse Svadilfari, (10[1])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■
