Midgard (fictional realm in Norse mythology)

Midgard, in Norse mythology, is the realm inhabited by humans, positioned between the realm of the gods (Asgard) and the land of giants (Jotunheim). It is considered the world created from the body of the primordial being Yggdrasil, the cosmic tree connecting the Nine Worlds. Midgard is protected by a giant serpent, Jörmungandr, and is part of the cosmic struggle between order and chaos. It functions as the human home within the Norse multiverse, reflecting a structured universe where gods, giants, and humans coexist with interconnected destinies.
