Iðavöllr

The Idafeld, also Idawöll, Old Norse Iðawǫllr " field of the bustle " is in Norse mythology a field or an area in the middle of Asgard. On the Idafeld are the Halls Gladsheim, the laws Hall of the Aesir, and Wingolf, the assembly hall of the goddesses ( Gylfaginning, Chapter 14) by Snorri Sturluson. According to Snorri Sturluson's idea even very Asgard was built on this field, because in the Gylfaginning ( chapter 53) he says: " Vidar and Vali [ ... ] live on the Idafeld where Asgard was before. " In addition, the site served as a blacksmith's workshop of the gods ( Völuspá, verse 7).

After the apocalypse Ragnarök gather here the surviving Æsir, to discuss the reconstruction of the world ( Gylfaginning, Chapter 53, see also Vafþrúðnismál, verse 51). Thus, the combined Idafeld place of the meeting, the legislative and the craft and formed thus not only geographically, but also socially, the center of Asgard.
