Vanaheim

|
In Norse mythology Vanaheim is the home of the Vanir. It is located in Asgard, on the highest level of the universe. The Vanir were generally more benevolent gods of agriculture and nature, as opposed to Æsir, who were warlike and passionate. The Vanir briefly warred with the Æsir in the War of the gods, but quickly made peace. Freyr, Freya and Njord are the three main Vanir. It was considered as one of the nine worlds because of its mention in the Alvíssmál and also because it is referred to as Njord's birthplace and where he will return at Ragnarok. This seems to imply that Vanaheim will not be affected by Ragnarok.
Further information is not thought to exist, as little information has survived today.
