Yggdrasil
Yggdrasil was the primary realm of the Vanir pantheon, and progenitor of the Living realms. It was composed of 9 smaller realms connected by the massive World Tree that gave the realm its name. It died a natural death sometime before the 84th Pythian Games, leading to the displacement of most of the realm's inhabitants into the Dreaming.
PRE-SNAKE-INCIDENT DOCUMENTATION
Original realm of the Vanir Order. This realm died a natural death but its people were able to escape to the Dreaming with the help of the Vanir Soulforges.
According to the Grimm, Yggdrasil is a progenitor realm. Endermor (currently New Zygaxia) and Opus/Thesis both originated from Yggdrasil, as evidenced by the presence of World Trees in both realms.

Odin - Leader
Relevance to Current Era
When the rebellion against the Old Order reached its peak, Odin attempted to evacuate the Vanir from the Dreaming, unwilling to loss his people maintaining tyrants who he hated working with. Out of the twenty plus ships of the Vanir present before the Death Wave occured only two survived and escaped the dreaming. These ships traveled through the void until they reached an old Vanir research facility in Paradiso, which the nature of the realm was able to hide and protect them from the Death Wave. There the Vanir attempted to make peace with the people but the nature of the Realm was war and they made no headway. Eventually Odin decided that the only way to save the Wasteland was to create the environment for the heroes the wasteland needed to arise. This saw him create the idol Sovereignty and the state that the wasteland was in when it first attached to the dreaming. With him a branch of the World Tree of Yggdrasil was brought to the wasteland and was used to maintain the small chunk of the realm as the rest of the realm decayed until Rexx Sirius attempted to use its connection to the physical realm nexus and the soul canister from the War of the Accords to become the realm and shape it in his own image. With the efforts of the Dreamwalker collective the wasteland was saved and once it disconnects Odin will be able to awaken the remaining Vanir in cryo sleep and have a new home for his people alongside the wastelanders and the future of their home.
