Nine worlds I knew, the nine in the tree. With mighty roots beneath the mold.
- From the Poetic Edda.

The Nine Worlds of Norse and Anglo-Germanic myth is the battle ground for this game. Players represent the heroes, kings or gods of each world and lead their armies in a struggle to take control of the worlds. Control of a world gives access to powers players can use to further their conquests. The control of the worlds and the number of armies players control determine the victory.
