[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9503667, member: 6801845"] Since we don't really know what the Norse thought the nine worlds were in detail, I took some creative license. Okay, quite a bit of creative license. :) But I have [B]Asgard[/B]: a celestial realm and home of the Aesir (gods of humans). Includes Valhalla. Alfheim: the Feywild and land of the Sidhe [B]Dwarfheim[/B]: a celestial realm and home of the dwarven gods. Okay, this one I just made up and sort of replaced Muspleheim. [B]Vanaheim[/B]: a celstial realm and home of the elven (and gnomish) gods. The elven gods are also called the Vaenir. [B]Midgard[/B]: prime material [B]Svartalheim[/B]: Land of Rock and Stone, the underdark and home of the drow and Lollth. [B]Nifleheim[/B]: Shadowfell, land of spirit and dreams [B]Jotunheim[/B]: Land of Giants (Jotun) and fiends. In folklore not all Jotun were giants, some were just misshapen so I figured fiends fit. [B]Helheim[/B]: land of the dead. [SPOILER="Image for Yggdrasil"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Yggdrasil.jpg"]385451[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] Then, because I've actually had adventures there I detailed out Jotunheim a bit more. There isn't really a place for Avernus and the Abyss so they just became part of Jotunheim. [SPOILER="Image for Jotunheim"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Jotunheim_Map.jpg"]385452[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] Anyway so that was my take. If I were to redo it I might do things a bit differently, but at this point it works for me. [/QUOTE]
