Question

One text describes how this place is the capital of a section of Asia called Asaland. Thirteen high seats are found in a “bright home” in this place where a daily council is held. 540 rooms make up the largest building (-5[1])in this place which has a name meaning (-5[1])“lightning crack,” (-5[1])called the Bilskirnir (“ball-skeer-neer”). Sleipnir (“SLAYP-neer”) was born after Loki shapeshifted into a female (15[1])(*) horse to prevent the building of this place’s walls. (10[2])Fallen (10[2])warriors reside (10[1])in either of this realm’s mead-halls of Folkvangr (“FOLK-vaang”) and Valhalla. (-5[1])A rainbow bridge called the Bifrost connects this realm to Midgard. For 10 points, Odin’s home can be found in what Norse (10[1])realm? ■END■ (10[3])
