nordic-drifter:

Midgard is one of the nine words from Norse Mythology, and the real of Humans.

The term literally means “middle enclosure”, but is sometimes translated as “middle-earth” in Old English. The world is generally depicted as being in the middle of Yggdrasil and surrounded by an impenetrable ocean. It is also connected to Asgard, the world of the gods, by the rainbow bridge Bifrost.
