Step 1 of 8 · Fate, Time and the Norns
Yggdrasill, the World Tree
Why this step
The trail starts with the tree. Both Eddas describe Yggdrasill as an immense ash, and Grímnismál and Gylfaginning say three roots hold it up while differing about what lies by each. The entry says the sources do not give one consistent picture of the tree, which is a fair warning for everything that follows.
From the Lorebook
The great ash at the centre of the myths, described in the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda.
