Question

After kidnapping a goddess and her apples of youth from this location, one figure (-5[1])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. (10[1])A watchman at this location’s entry can hear the sound of grass and wool growing, and is possibly the son of nine sisters. To sabotage the builder of this location’s walls, a deity transformed into (10[1])a mare (10[1]-5[1])to seduce the workhorse Svadilfari, leading to the birth of Sleipnir. This realm (10[1])is connected by a rainbow bridge called (0[1])Bifröst to (10[1])Midgard. For 10 (10[1])points, name this (10[1])Norse realm home to the Aesir gods like Thor. (10[1])■END■

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