Located above Asgard is Muspelheim, a world that is bathed entirely in flames and is home to many beasts that manifest from the fires. The Frost Giants have tried to conquer the other realms a number of times, but were thwarted in each attempt by the Asgardians. Slightly below Asgard is Jotunheim, which is inhabited by the Jotuns, also known as the Frost Giants. The world of Alfheim also lies close to Asgard. Nidavellir, home of the Dwarves, neighbors Asgard, and a strong relationship is present between the two.

The Asgardians produced a sister race which settled on the planet Vanaheim, and are referred to as the Vanir. They act as a police force that tries to preserve peace. Odin, the former ruler of Asgard, and his troops act as the protectors of the Nine Realms and even other regions of space. Īsgard was considered to be the head of the Nine Realms, and its inhabitants, the Asgardians, are arguably the most powerful species in the realms. Earth, where humanity resides, is one of the Nine Realms, but its inhabitants are considered to be too underdeveloped by the other races to associate with. The inhabitants of the realms are mostly associated with each other rather than the other advanced species residing beyond the realms. The Nine Realms are nine individual planets that, while located separate parts of the universe, are systematically connected by the branches of Yggdrasil and orbit Midgard.
