Question

After kidnapping a goddess and her apples of youth from this location, (-5[1])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, (-5[1])and Third. 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 (-5[1])the builder of this (10[1])location’s walls, a deity transformed into a mare to seduce the workhorse (-5[1])Svadilfari, (-5[1])leading to the birth of Sleipnir. (-5[1])This realm is connected by a rainbow bridge called (10[3]-5[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[2])■END■
