Midgard/Mann(a)heim
In
Norse myth, the defensive fortress which the gods build
about the middle portion of the earth allotted to men in
order to protect mankind from the giants.
Midgard
("middle world") is on the same level as Nidavellir
(land of the dwarfs),
Svartalfheim (land of the dark elves/dwarfs)
and Jotunheim (the land of
the giants).
