----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
3.1 OverviewI'm not quite sure what's going to end up on this page to be honest. I will probably add things as I think of them unless they spoil part of the story I haven't written yet.I do want to make note of ages. In this world I'm using my own theories on how aging works. Their developmental rates are not constant and have slight differences between the Realms. I also broke development into physical, mental, and emotional components. I know emotional and mental usually go hand in hand, but I chose to make a distinction. Mental is cognitive in terms of problem solving, memorization, facts, etc. Emotional has to do with understanding of emotions, empathy, and what might fall under the vague label of "maturity." Physical is obviously the physical body. Additionally, in terms of raw experience mental and emotional development fail to have human equivalents after a certain point.Gods/Goddesses: these are not just titles although they also function as such. Due to various factors the Æsir have the most Gods/Goddesses. This is how many of the Æsir are pseudo-immortals. Being a God/Goddess means partially embodying a natural force of some kind and being able to manipulate and/or sense it. Gods/Goddesses can hear prayer.
3.2 Álfheimr
Residents: The Ljósálfar and The SnærrálfarRuler: AelsaLifespan and Aging: The Ljósálfar and Snærrálfar (and their Dökkálfar counterparts in Svartálfaheimr) are the only true immortals in the Nine Realms. Consequently, they have a very slow aging rate. Physically, it takes about 50,000 years to reach the developmental equivalent of a human 30 year old. However, upon reaching this age all physical aging halts. They can be killed (by wound, poison, disease, seiðr craft etc.), but not by aging/time. Mentally and emotionally their development is even slower than their physical growth.
3.3 Ásgarð
Residents: The ÆsirRuler: Odin and FriggaLifespan and Aging: The Æsir have a comparatively rapid physical, mental, and emotional development until around the human equivalent of 30. After that point, their physical aging slows immensely. Their mental and emotional development are both faster at this point.
3.4 Helheimr
Residents: Hel and The DeadRuler: HelLifespan and Aging: N/A as everyone, but Hel is dead.
3.5 Jötunheimr
Residents: The JötnarRuler: Helblindi Lifespan and Aging: The Jötnar (and their counterparts in Múspellsheimr, the Eldjötnar) have rapid physical and mental development in their early years in order to survive the harsh conditions. As these conditions favor pragmatism, their emotional development is somewhat stunted until later years. Until the human equivalent of 20, the Jötnar have the fastest aging rate among the "Immortal" races. They reach "20" in just 263 years.
3.6 Miðgarðr
Residents: Mortals (Defined as people with average lifespans less than 2,000 years)Ruler: N/ALifespan and Aging: Earth is of course part of Miðgarðr, but so are the other planets within the Realm. Humans have advanced and in 2118 have an average lifespan of about 150. However, there are other longer lived species in Miðgarðr. None of these species have an average lifespan beyond 2,000 years and thus Miðgarðr is the realm of Mortals.
3.7 Múspellsheimr
Residents: The EldjötnarRuler: SurtrLifespan and Aging: Identical to the Jötnar.
3.8 Niflheimr
Residents: The Norns and Primordial BeingsRuler: N/ALifespan and Aging: The denizens of Niflheimr don't abide by conventional aging and lifespans. All the beings of Niflheimr are Ancient and can appear as young children or elderly or anything in between. Often times their apparent mental/emotional development won't match their physical bodies. However, it's hard to say whether this is due to an incomprehensible mindset in which they can regress or progress at will or if its merely an act.
3.9 Svartálfaheimr
Residents: The Dökkálfar and The DvergarRuler: Alflyse (Dökkálfar) and Eitri (Dvergar)Lifespan and Aging: The Dökkálfar are identical to the Ljósálfar. The Dvergar are the shortest lived "immortal" species. Their average lifespan is only 177,770 years. Their physical development is slightly slower than their mental/emotional development.
3.10 Vanaheimr
Residents: The VanirRuler: Freyr and FreyjaLifespan and Aging: The Vanir have a physical development identical to the Æsir. However, due to their closer ties with internal and external seiðr, their mental/emotional development is a little faster.
