Line 1: {{about\|the location in Nordic Mythology\|other uses}} {{short description\|Location in Nordic Mythology}} In [[Nordic mythology]], '''Asgard''' ([[Old Norse]]: '''''Ásgarðr''''' ~~{{IPA-non\|ˈɑːsˌɡɑrðz̠\|}}~~; "enclosure of the [[Æsir]]") is a location associated with the gods. It appears in several [[Old Norse literature \|Old Norse sagas and mythological texts]], including the [[Eddas]], however it has also been suggested to be referred to indirectly in some of these sources. It is described as the fortified home of the [[Æsir]] gods and is often associated with gold imagery and contains many other locations known in [[Nordic mythology]] such as [[Valhöll]], [[Iðavöllr]] and [[Hlidskjálf]]. In some [[euhemeristic]] accounts, Asgard is portrayed as being a city in Asia or [[Troy]], however in other accounts that likely more accurately reflect its conception in [[Old Nordic religion]], it is depicted as not conforming to a naturalistic geographical position. In these latter accounts, it is found in a range of locations such as over the rainbow bridge [[Bifröst]], in the middle of the world and over the sea.
