Question

After kidnapping a goddess and her apples of youth (10[1])from this location, one figure died outside its gates when his 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. A watchman at this location’s entry can hear the sound of grass (10[1])and wool growing, (10[1])and is possibly the son of nine sisters. (-5[2])To sabotage the builder (-5[1])of this location’s walls, a deity transformed into a mare to (10[1])seduce the workhorse Svadilfari, (10[1])leading to the birth (10[1])of (10[1])Sleipnir. This realm is connected by a rainbow bridge called (10[1]) (-5[3])Bifröst to (10[1])Midgard. For 10 (10[1])points, name this Norse realm home to the Aesir gods like (10[3])Thor. (10[1])■END■

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