Vanaheim The realm or kingdom of the Vanir, the gods of the Earth, fertility, and plenty.

This realm was neighbor to Asgard, home of the Aesir gods. After the great Aesir/Vanir War, Odin, the greatest of the Aesir, sent the gods Hoenir and Mimir to Vanaheim, and the Vanir sent Njord, Frey, and Freya to Asgard.

Vanaheim is the original home of the Goddess Freya as well as her brother Frey and father Njord. The Lady and her kin live in Asgard now.

Vanaheim also refers to the Tanais, an ancient name for the Don River in western Russia.
