- This article is about the realm of Norse Mythology. For other uses, see Asgard (disambiguation).
In Norse mythology, Asgard (Old Norse: Ásgarður) is the realm of the gods, the Æsir, thought to be separate from the realm of the mortals, Midgard.
The plain of Idavoll is the centre of Asgard. The Æsir meet there for discussions on important issues: the male gods meet in a hall called Gladsheim, and the female goddesses in a hall called Vingólf. They also meet daily at the Well of Urd, beneath Yggdrasill.
