Question

After kidnapping a goddess and her apples of youth from this location, one figure died outside its gates (10[1])when his feathers lit on fire. A king (10[1])who travels to this place finds an imaginary palace containing three men named High, Just-as-High, and Third. A watchman (10[1])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, (10[1])a deity transformed into a mare (10[1])to seduce the workhorse Svadilfari, leading to the birth of Sleipnir. (10[1])This realm is connected (-5[1])by a rainbow bridge called Bifröst to Midgard. For 10 points, name this Norse realm home to the Aesir gods like Thor. (0[1])■END■

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