[Image is a picture—it looks like a painting—of Yggdrasil, with each of the nine realms in its roots; each is labeled in runes, and there’s some other stuff that I can’t read. End terrible description.]
Yggdrasil, by fenix42

It is a lovely picture but OMG this tree I HATE IT FOREVER.

The stuff you can’t read is (to me) sort of readable in the original size and clearly readable in the zoomed-in version. They’re descriptions of the worlds in question.
Top row: world of fire, world of ice
Middle row: world of the frost giants, world of the Aesir, world of the light elves
Bottom row: world of the dead, world of the humans, world of the Vanir, world of the dark elves
Not being able to read runes or particularly familiar with Norse myth*, I can’t match all of the descriptions with the worlds’ names off the top of my head. I am given to understand that the world of the dead is called Hel and the world of the humans is called Midgard, and indeed they do have the right number of letters to be those.
*I think this is a non-offensive term, right? If not, I apologise.
