Question

After kidnapping a goddess and her apples of youth from this location, one figure died outside its (10[1])gates when his feathers lit on 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 hear the sound of grass and wool growing, and is possibly the son (10[1])of nine sisters. To sabotage the builder of this location’s walls, a deity transformed into a mare to seduce the workhorse Svadilfari, leading to the birth of Sleipnir. (10[1])This realm is connected by a rainbow bridge (10[1]-5[1])called (10[1]) Bifröst to Midgard. For 10 points, name this 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”]
