History

Yggdrasill, the world tree, is a giant ash supporting the Nine Worlds. One of its roots extended into Hel and Niffleheim, the underworlds; another into Jotunheim, land of the giants; and the third into Asgard, home of the gods. At its base were three wells: Urdarbrunnr (Well of Fate), from which the tree was watered by the Norns (the Fates); Hvergelmir (Roaring Kettle), in which dwelt Nidhogg, the monster that gnawed at the tree’s roots; and Mímisbrunnr (Mimir’s Well), source of wisdom, for the waters of which Odin sacrificed an eye. After Ragnarök, the world tree, though badly shaken, was to be the source of new life.

Alternate realities

Larval Earth (Earth-8311)

Larval Earth's counterpart for Yggdrasil is Hygga-Dygga. While important for the dogs of Arfgard, Hygga-Dygga has a much more... mundane use.
