The title and image speaks for itself.

This is a list of the Nine (9) worlds of Norse Mythology, that includes a brief synopsis of these 9 worlds and those Gods/Goddess that inhabited them.

This is by no means a comprehensive listing of every known Norse God/Goddess. Only the most prominent ones were addressed.

A few Clarifications...

:iconleafline1plz::iconleafline2plz::iconleafline3plz:

HOLLER
Not to be confused for HEL, is the Norse God of death specializing in: Destruction, Disease, Desolation and Disaster.
Holler is as unpleasant as he sounds and loves nothing more than dragging folks off to his dungeon so he can torture them to Death.
:iconleafline1plz::iconleafline2plz::iconleafline3plz:

HOD
Son of ODIN, also known as HODUR.
A blind god who accidentally killed his twin brother BALDUR.
Alternative names for BALDUR: BALDER and BALDR...
:iconleafline1plz::iconleafline2plz::iconleafline3plz:

HEL (who unfortunately isn't part of this list)
Is the daughter of LOKI, also known as HALJA, HELA, HELLA...
Ruler of Helheim - the Hellish Realm of the Dead.
She isn't the prettiest, being half flesh and half rotten, but it's no beauty contest down in Helheim.
Her hall is called Sleet-Cold which is as unpleasant as it sounds, filled with those who died of sickness or old age which was considered a cowards way out.
What Odin wanted were people to die gloriously in battle, so he cut this miserable Hellhole right out of the equation and lifted the bravest warriors right from the battle field.

although Baldr and Hod were brothers they were not twins...and there will be other survivors after Ragnarok is over...Magni and Modi...Thor's sons will survive and inherit Mjolnir from their father, etc. I love this list regardless, great job :)

Thanks you. :iconbowplz:

This list as I mentioned in it's description, is far from being complete. It also may contain some inaccuracies. Nonetheless, I am by no means a scholar of 'Norse Mythology' and nor do I make any such claims.
It's merely a reference and does not even begin to embark on conveying any of the main sagas as is known to the myth's.

It's also an attempt to couple my art work with my love of 'Norse Mythology'.

I'm happy that you enjoyed it, thanks again. :-)
