A metaphorical and spiritual depiction of the celestial underpinnings that join all the hundreds of disparate realms and demesnes of the Demiurge together. The existence of the Demiurge is only possible through this structure, and the structure could not exist without the Demiurge. Earth, known as Midgard, sits closest to the heart of the Demiurge. The spreading branches reach all the Eternal Realms, where the New Gods dwell. The realms of Olympus, Takamagahara, and Asgard all are accessible via these branches. Cultures view this spreading structure (and Earth's relation to it) in many different ways. Rivers, trees, and animals bearing the weight of the world are all common metaphors.
Odin All-Father, ruler of Asgard, claims dominion over The Nine Realms, those clustered most closely near the root of Yggdrasil. Asgard has held the role as the temporal guardians of Earth and the Demiurge for tens of thousands of years.
The roots of Yggdrasil reach into the Demiurge itself. It is there that the endless power of the Demiurge flows like a river, feeding the World Tree. The Norns, The Lady, and Gaea reside there-- the entities most closely attuned to the primal nature of the Demiurge and the warp and weft of life itself. This garden has been reflected in many facets, including the home of Destiny of The Endless and Eden, where the first mortal souls kindled to life.
