 | | Yggdrasil is the world Ash tree that connects all of the Nine Worlds of Norse mythology, namely, Asgard, Alfheim, Vanheim, Niflheim, Midgard, Muspelheim, Jotunheim, Svartalfheim, and Hel. |
 | | The tree survives the torment of Nithog nibbling at its roots, while the stags and goats tear the leaves and bark from the tree. |
 | | On the last day, an eagle drops words out of his mouth, including "egg, sword, and fire." Odin tells the bird that he knows about the existence of these objects already, but his plea is rendered helpless as the eagle flies away. |
