i go bit deeper norse mythology , incorporate more valhalla

norse guys looking for?

in norse mythology there 'nine worlds' (níu heimar), many scholars summarize follows:
asgard, world of Æsir (east court).
vanaheimr, world of vanir.
midgard, world of humans (middle court).
muspellheim, world of primordial element of fire (black smiths (muorsh eiron) home).
niflheim, world of primordial element of ice
svartálfaheim, world of svartálfar (black elves) (possibly surt).
Álfheimr, world of Álfar (elves).
hel, underground world of dead (a place in jerusalem).
jötunheimr, world of jötnar (jutes).
note boundaries between niflheim, jötunheimr, hel, niðavellir, svartálfaheimr, , several other significant places Útgarðar (outer (far) court) remain uncertain.
each world had significant places within. valhalla odin's hall located in asgaard. home of einherjar, souls of greatest warriors. these warriors selected valkyries, odin's mounted female messengers. einherjar defend gods during ragnarok. niflhel hellish place in hel, oathbreakers , other criminals suffer torments.
these worlds connected yggdrasil, world tree, giant tree asgard @ top. chewing @ roots in niflheim nidhogg, ferocious serpent or dragon. asgard can reached bifrost, rainbow bridge guarded heimdall, god can see , hear thousand miles.
