The Nine Realms
Through the realms with Odin
A circuit of the worlds gathered around the ash Yggdrasil, the realms Odin the Wanderer crosses in the Eddic poems in search of knowledge. The Eddas never give one fixed list or map of the nine worlds; this route follows the list most modern retellings use.
The route
These realms belong to the mythic cosmos, not an earthly map, so the route is shown in order instead of as pins.
