Yggdrasil (Ig-thra-sil)

Geography

Being the World Tree all of material existence resides within the Yggdrasil tree which is divided into a number of realms. These realms consist of Heaven, Álfheimr, Vanaheim, Midgard, Niflheim, Muspelheim, Jötunheimr, Niðavellir and Hell. The realm of Heaven is the smallest of the 9 realms being the size of a single universe and resides at the very top of the tree with the highest branches covering it with thick layers of golden leaves and the Heavenly fruit the size of planets. The realm of Vanaheim makes up the majority of the upper portions of the branches and leaves of the tree being roughly twice the size of Midgard. The realm of Álfheimr makes up the points in which the trunk splits off into the Branches being roughly half the size of Midgard. The realm of Midgard makes up the central trunk of the tree being the entire observable universe and all its alternate universes in the greater Multiverse. The realm of Niflheim is a vast realm of cold that is only filled with ice and darkness located to the right of Midgard and roughly the same size. The realm of Muspelheim is a vast realm of heat that is only filled with light and heat located to the left of Midgard and roughly the same size as Midgard. The realm of Jötunheimr is another universe in the shape of a disk separating the trunk by the Iving, a massive swirl of energy and power and is slightly larger than Midgard. The realm of Niðavellir are the rocky roots filled with dense patches of metals and minerals with stars scattered around it and nearly matches Midgard in size. The realm of Hell is the largest of all the realms being a vast random formation of matter and surrounds the roots of the Yggdrasil tree and being a size matching that of half of the rest of Yggdrasil combined.   Existing on top of the Realms of Yggdrasil and its dimensions.

Localized Phenomena

Within the universe is the collection of souls which permeate through the 9 realms of the tree Yggdrasil. The Souls are sentient and are life itself. Upon the physical form of a soul dying the soul will disperse and will travel to the highest regions of hell by the river Styx. There the chosen souls to go to heaven will be assorted and be taken to heaven whereas the souls left behind will be dragged to the entrance of Hell. Once the souls in either Heaven or Hell die, they will again disperse and reappear in one of the other realms to reincarnate. These souls will become a new, though very similar, individual. From there the reincarnation cycle continues affecting every soul in Yggdrasil including the Gods and other natives of Heaven or Hell.

History

Of the nine realms of the universe which will eventually come to be known as Yggdrasil the realms Muspelheim and Niflheim have always existed. From Muspelheim the rays of energy, light and fire traversed the void in-between Muspelheim and Niflheim and condensed and solidified into nebulae which simply flew across the void till they reached Niflheim and got devoured by the Apophis in the cold realm. From the void Azathoth arose from the darkness and slept through existence until Khaos and Yahweh came to be from the energy solidifying into being. Together they created the rest of the nine realms except for Midgard and Hell. Yahweh and Khaos together ruled the Cosmos but angered Azathoth with their creations disrupting its deep sleep and so it proceeded to create its own army to slaughter Khaos and Yahweh and all their creations. After the war which eventually came to be known as the Voidiomachy. Having won the War Khaos and Yahweh sealed Azathoth in where Hell would eventually be.   After Ouranos overthrew his parents and took the throne in the Cosmoarchy and established his siblings as the supreme powers under him and took his sister Gaia as his wife. When he ruled he left wild Apophis run rampant, left Ymir to his own devices with no restrictions and even lacked on the seals on Azathoth and furthered the suffering to the Old ones and Outer Gods. Eventually due to his extreme corruption and lack of competency, his youngest and mightiest son Chronos with the aid of the legendary hero Odin initiated the Primodiomachy where they and their overwhelming support and beat him. With their victory Odin killed Ymir and used his corpse as the material for the now known Midgard as a central realm to balance the tree of the universe. From there Chronos took to the throne and became the King of the Cosmos with his love Rhea as the Queen. His youngest son Zeus billions of years later managed to convince everyone else to follow him to wage war in the Titanomachy and overthrew his father and became the King of the Cosmos until modern day.
