Vanaheim (pronounced "VAN-na-hame") is one of the Nine Worlds, more specifically the one inhabited by the Vanir tribe of Norse gods.

Freya, the ruler.

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard[]

The Sword of Summer[]

After Magnus Chase passes out after healing Halfborn Gunderson, he was summoned to Vanaheim to talk with his father. The fields of Folkvanger, a small part of the vast expanse of Vanaheim, is where Magnus and Blitzen meet Blitz's mother Freya who reigns over Folkvanger. Folkvanger has no natural sunlight because Freya's stunning beauty lights up everything.

The system goes like this: half the honored dead of the nine worlds go to Valhalla, one of the courts of Odin and became einherjar where they wait for Ragnarok and train for doomsday. The other half of the honored dead, called the people's army, go to Folkvanger in Vanaheim where they too wait for Ragnarok. The only difference is that in Folkvanger the inhabitants are more laid back. They don't train and when they do, they quickly get bored of it and don't try hard enough. They just happily wait for Ragnarok and just accept that they're going to die at Ragnarok and the world is going to end. The people's army will charge into battle alongside the einherjar and fight the battle of Ragnarok. Vanaheim is a nice place to be overall and doesn't have many problems. Vanaheim is home to all the Vanir gods such as Freya and Frey. If Magnus hadn't been brought to Valhalla by Samirah al-Abbas, he would have gone to Folkvanger and became one of the people's army instead of going to Valhalla as an einherjar.
