VanaheimPLANAR STATISTICS
Size: Planet
Sphere: ThoughtDESCRIPTION
The Home Plane of Immortals such as Freyj and Freyja, this is a realm of deep forests, high mountains and mighty oceans. The forces of nature are as powerful here as in Jotunheim, but less wild and chaotic. The history of this plane goes back to the Aesir-Vanir War when Odin was on the rise to become a Hierarch of the Sphere of Thought. The War ended with a peace settlement and the peoples of Aasgard and Vanaheim have since lived in peace with oneanother. Many people from Aasgard have moved to Vanaheim since then and vice versa. Vanaheim is also known for its practitioners of magic including prophecy magic so many magic users travel here to learn secrets of Witchcraft. It is speculated that the Wise Women of the Northern Reaches might know secret paths leading to Vanaheim.DENIZENS
