Vigrid is the battlefield where the gods are fated to be slain at Ragnarok, the Last Battle. It is a great green field located in Asgard, home of the Norse pantheon.[1] It is roughly circular, 120 leagues (414 miles) across, and partially bounded by forests.[2]
The Bifrost bridge from Asgard is said to have one end lie between the plains of Ida and Vigrid. The citadel Himinbjorg is located there to watch over the bridge.[3] It is located between the bridge and the walls of Asgard.[1]
Visitors to the plain of Vigrid are said to receive visions of the future, including their own doom and those around them.[4]
The Vigrid Plains, a frozen tundra used for hunting in the Frost Lands of the Material Plane, shares its name with this field.[5]
