Vaneheim (Realm of the Vanes) is the beautiful home world of the Vanes, an ancient line of Gods separate from the Ases. It is the third in the spectrum of the nine worlds in Norse Mythology and borders to Alfheim and Gudeheim.
Vaneheim was for a time at war with Gudeheim, but at some point the Vanes and the Ases acknowledged each others power and righteousness, and made peace. As a show of good faith the Ases gifted the head Vane, Njord, and his family with homes in Gudeheim.
