Ok, for a long long time I've been wanting to draw the map of realms from my AU and this drawing took me so long to finish that I dropped it halfway through BUT I finally picked it up again and finished!!! I present to you: 
Yggdrasil and its realms
In my AU, there are 14 known realms and among them, we have:
Sólmani, the realm of Sun and Moon and the kingdom of Dellingr, deity of day/night;
Viðbláinn, the new place for the remaining humans and gods after Ragnarök;
Andlangr, the “bunker” for all humans when Ragnarök happens;
Asgard, realm of the Æsir gods. Here we have Valhalla, Valaskjálf and Hliðskjálf, Þrúðvangr and Bilskirnir, Fensalir AKA Sökkvabekkr, Breiðablik, Glitnir, Himinbjörg, Belivalr mountain and Ýdalir, Iðavöllr and Glaðsheimr and Vingólf, Hvergelmir river, Lanvidi, Nóatún, Hildarvangr.
Vanaheim of the Vanir gods. A place full of magic and where the first witches came. Here you can find Fólkvangr and Sessrúmnir just to name a few. It’s the place of rest of a giant who fell in the hands of Lilith, turning into Vanaheim upon his death. The Ylgr river flows through Vanaheim and bathes the giant skeleton of the realm.
Midgard is Earth, where most of “Hilda and The Allmother” characters came from. Among thousands upon thousands of known places, few stand out. They are: Trolberg, Toføten, Vanæsvalr AKA Hexental, Gnipahellir, Húnaland, Hreiðgotaland, Gästrikland, Bjarmaland, mountain Rerir, mountain Hár, mountain Halldór, Munnin’s peak, Járnviðr forest, Myrkviðr forest, Nótt forest, Huldraforest, Steinnharr and Jötunnstone, Björgfjord and Björd lake and Liten, the ruins of Whiteridge castle, Byrstrfossen, Towe's tower, the Highwood, Philosopher's Watch, The Signalhan's barrow, Possegrim, Fjörm, Fimbulþul and Sylgr triplet rivers just to name a few.
Jötunheim, the realm of giants of old. Hnitbjörg, Útgarðar, Fjällenótt, Þrymheimr, Vimur AKA Við and Hríð river are few of the most famous locations on the realm. When the giants left Midgard, they went to Jötunnheim.
Muspelheim, is the realm of fire and magma and where Surtr lives. Vígríðr and Eldrhellir are two of the most famous places of the realm. The river of molten metal, Leiptr, flows through Muspelheim and leads to Svartalfheim, where the dwarves can use the metal to forge.
Helheim is the realm of the dead and where the ship of the dead Naglfari sails. Niflheim is located here and the entrance to Niflheim. The Gjöll river cuts the land of the living from the land of the dead and where the Gjallarbrú bridge stands above, protected by Angrboða and Garmr. There’s another river, the Sliðr and lastly, the Svöl river from where the Náströnd is born. The Éljúðnir hall, home of Helgeisten and his daughters is the last known place.
Ránarheim is the realm of the drowned. This is where all drown people go to rest and the kingdom of Rán. Hríð rive from Jötunnheim leads to this realm. Gunnþrá is the second river from where the drown can use to go to Ránarheim.
Gefheim, the immense fields where Gef uses to plow the dirt with her oxen children. All of those who died virgin go to Gefheim to become he oxen. She’s the responsible for rowing giants portions of land for humans to settle. The river that flows through Gefheim and nourishes all plants and gardens is Vimur river, that flows through Jötunheim
Svartalfheim is the second darkest realm to live. There you will find the dwarves, where they can mine from the caves to forge all of their itens. It’s connects Niflheim to Muspelheim by a hidden entrance. Its most famous kingdom is Niðavellir and where the molten metal river Leiptr ends.
Niflheim, the realm of mist and darkness and the prison of Lilith and Níðhöggr, alongside other monstrous dragons who gnaws on the roots of Yggdrasil. There, móðguðr and the three nornir Valkyries Skuld, Svipul AKA Urðr and Verðandi fight with the dragons. There you will find the Náströnd river, the Mímisbrunnr, Urðarbrunnr and Hvergelmir wells protected by the nornir and Níðhöggr’s lair: Niðafjöll.
At last, Ginnungagap, where Yggdrasail and Svartrfligr, “the eternal black” live. A neverending space that leads to nowhere and from where the Éligávar river was born. Frozen by Niflheim’s coldness and evaporated by Muspelheim heat, all life began at this river and this river runs through all of Yggdrasil, flooding the realms with life. From Éligávar, tons of rives flow, among them we have: Hvergelmir, Sliðr, Vimur, Ylgr, Hríð, Gunnþrá, Fjörm, Fimbulþul, Sylgr, Leiptr, Svöl.
I really hope you people like it and I’m so sorry it took me this long to post. Hope the next doesn’t take as long.

FEH OCs Part 2 out of ???
Disclaimer: I am going off of my memory, so I will probably miss or misremember several things. This time we're going through the characters introduced in Book 2 (and a little more).
Fjorm: I think she's alright, she apparently has a burning hatred for Sutr, but I never got that vibe from her. Also, it took like 3 years for Nifl to claim her life as she did the rite of ice. Which is weird, but at least it got addressed.
Gunnthra: Fjorm's big sis and she's dead. I think a lot of people forget that part, just like I forgot a lot of her character. Girl deserves to be in some forging bonds, she hasn't been in one since the event dedicated to the Nifl Royal family.
Hrid: Same as Gunnthra, except he's not dead and is ruling Nifl. I feel he could use some more alts or forging bonds events. Also, he tried 1v1 Sutr, but it didn't work out. A for effort though.
Ylgr: I like the kid, she's thrilled to be a hero and go on adventures with her siblings. I also like her relationship with Helbindi, it's the typical tough guy and wide-eyed kid, but it's cute. Also, her weapon is called Sylgr and I find that amusing.
Laegjarn: Caught my attention with her relationship with Laevatain. Gotta enjoy sisterly bonds and all that stuff. Although, I don't understand why she and Fjorm are friends. They barely knew each other and were on opposite sides, then she died and was forced to fight for Muspell. Not a lot of opportunities for meaningful conversation unless it's off-screen.
Laevatain: Imagine being named after the sword you wield, Sutr is a shitty parent, but that's not news. She's reliant on Laegjarn for strategy and planning, but her sister is dead and she is in charge of Muspell. I worry for her.
Helbindi: I feel bad for the dude, he lost his village and sister, and then dies protecting Veronica and Ylgr. One of his castle lines mentions that he doesn't feel he belongs here. Anyways, Duo hero with either Ylgr or Mustafa for him.
Sutr: Generic evil fire guy, and that's fine. He has a kickass design and that one speech where he talks about burning people alive. Kinda disappointed he's not in Book 3 considering there was a xenologue where we got to see Sutr in Hel.
Loki: How are you not a Legendary/Mythic Hero? YOUR SISTER IS ONE. Not crazy about her design though. Also, I'm expecting her to kill the Summoner (Norse mythology is the basis for that claim). Nifl: I don't like her design, it doesn't feel wintery enough to me. Although, I would like to know more about her first love and see her pre-muspellruinedmylife.
Muspell: Not crazy about his design either, his Flame Tribe alt is great though. He doesn't feel as intimidating as Sutr, which is a bit sad. I would like to see him and Nifl singing Snow Miser vs Heat Miser.

Heljarkviða I: Á helvegi
Fleygði Óðinn ok í folk of skaut, þat var enn folkvíg fyrst í heimi (Vǫluspá 24)
Hófusk svá leggja aldr ok naðrs ógn með ásynjum sem ok Háars þegnum líkum.
Farit hefi ek blóðgum brandi svá at mér benþiðurr fylgði, ok gjallanda geiri; gangr var harðr af víkingum. Gjǫrðum reiðir róstu rann eldr of sjǫt manna, ek lét blóðga búka í borghliðum sæfask (Egils saga, ch. 48)
Roðit vas sverð, en sverða sverð-Rǫgnir mik gerði. Vǫ́ru reynd í rǫndum rangálkn fyrir ver handan.
Blóðug hygg ek í blóði blóðgǫgl of skǫ stóðu. Sárfíkinn hlaut sára sárgammr enn ǭ þramma. (Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu, ch. 13)
Hér holmleggjar viðr er á vargs verðra hjardrlandi. Þrumugnýr bersk úr veðra hǫll jǫtun vegs. Geirs dróttinn, Yggjar valbygg færir at limláta glamm! Njóts rann, þín ǫrva drífa ræðr fyrir Svǫlnis ekkju. Váfaðar váðir inna níu, Gauts gǫtvar inna níu, víkinga máni inna níu, megi hrafns víns hreggr færa á glatan augna tungskæðra orma.
Bǫrðumk ek einn við níu, en við ellifu tysvar, svá fingum val vargi; varð ek einnbani þeira. Skiptumsk hart af heiptum hlífar skelfiknífum. Lét ek af Emblu aski eld valbasta kastat. (Egils saga, ch. 80)
En er ofnir tónar úr Nornanna skjálftafullum hvítum hǫrpum hleypa dísum gǫndum, bersk gunnhvata glamr at svá vakni hjartasalir óttaligrar bǫlrannar. Svá urðu draum-Njǫrvar. Eldingaflaugar Bors burs þruma leidd af rǫmmu afli skorinna Sverða sverrifjarða. Mín lungnatorg, mín gollarhǫll, byrgðar stallar af gunngjǫrnum eski, drifið hjararflóði. Sárgammr varð sóknbára, brátungl at fjarlagi. Svá urð draum-Njǫrvar. Mundilfari, dóttir þín horfin. Ýmir, þinn beinkofi hulinn sjónarbergi eggjabrodds hjara. Viðar morð heyrða þá glamm hlátr valkyrja at ofan ok kring. En aðrir áttu þar valfall. Svá bǫðgerðar eski stilliliga renna niðr Árnars mæri undir. Kǫld ok dimm her-Gauts vin skal oss færa helvegar til. Gegnum Gnitaheiðar litlausra yndisheima ulfs tuggvum sǫkkti sem ok fǫrumǫnnum. Sjá Yggdrasils rætr þjrár, orð Hrímþursa ok Mennskra manna óma kring ver setrs fram fyr sjónum. Ofar dynr hljóðan frá rǫmmum raustum systra. Sem byrmǫrk af kvikynda sýndusk sú vápn.
Vína heitir ein, ǫnnur Vegsvinn, þriðja Þjóðnuma, Nyt ok Nǫt, Nǫnn ok Hrǫnn, Slíð ok Hríð, Sylgr ok Ylgr, Víð ok Ván, Vǫnd ok Strǫnd, Gjǫll ok Leiftr, þær falla gumnum nær, er falla til Heljar heðan. (Grímnismál 28)
Sal sá hann standa sólu fjarri Nástrǫndu á norðr horfa dyrr; falla eitrdropar inn um ljóra, sá er undinn salr orma hryggjum. (Vǫluspá 38)
Níðhǫggr rífr ok tætir hjarta stíga sundr meðan blá half en half með hǫrundar lit Loka eignardóttir býðr vargs leifum til hennar Eljúðna, alla hǫðla grunn ofan. Hel nefnisk þat land er fjǫlbyggt vápnefldri rotinni valbráð. Haldi Hel því er hefir uns Naglfar skríðr.
[ENGLISH - On the Road to Hel]
Óðinn short a spear, huled it over the host; that was still the first war in the worlds. (Vǫluspá 24)
And so death and madness began to reign gods and humans alike.
I have wielded a blood-stained sword and howling spear; the bird of carrion followed me when the Vikings pressed forth; In fury we fought battles, fire swept through men's homes I made bloody bodies slump dead by city gates. (Egils saga, ch. 48)
My sword was stained with gore, but the Óðinn of swords Sword-swiped me too; on shields shield-giants were tried overseas. I think there stood blood-stained blood-goslings in blood round my brain. Once more the wound-eager wound-raven wound-river is fated to wade. (Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu, ch. 13)
Here I am on the battle ground of battle grounds. Thunder roars from the home of the giants. Óðinn, bring the slashing sound of chopped extremities! Óðinn, your spear of madness reigns this blood soaked ground. Axes of the nine, swords of the nine, blood streams of the nine, may Óðinn bring doom to the flying eyes of the serpent's doomed tongue.
I fought alone with nine, and twice with eleven. I fed the wolf with corpses, killed them all myself. Fiercely we swapped blades that shiver through shields. From the tree of my arm I tossed the plated fire of death. (Egils saga, ch. 80)
But when the spinning music from the Norn's osseous white harps starts to let our Dísir wander, the changing sounds of fate begin to awaken the old soul of feared Hel in pleasance. And so the night became. The nightning of Þórr's thunders is led by a strong force of cutting axes. My lungs my throat, the shoulders of the axe-wielding ash tree, all filled with spilling blood. Wounds become seas, eyes became dead. And so the night became. Mundilfara, your daughter vanished. Ýmir, your body was no longer visible to the eyes of the mountain-etched sword blade. I hear the fierce laughter of Valkyries from above and from aside. But others are chosen. So we slowly start to sink into the blood-wetted ground below. Cold and dark the foul earth let us pass to the netherworlds below. Through fields of colourless and poisonous lands we sink and wander alike. Yggdrasill's three roots we see, the words of Hrímþursar and Menskir menn aside the devastated lands that lie before us. From afar the roaring sound of insidious rivers is heard. Streams of bestial weapons they are.
Vina is one's name another Vegsvinn, a third Þjóðnuma, Nyt and Nǫt, Nǫnn and Hrǫnn, Slíðr and Hríð, Sylgr and Ylgr, Víðr and Ván, Vǫnd and Strǫnd, Giǫll and Leiftr, they fall close to men, and flow down from here to Hel. (Grímnismál 28)
A hall he saw standing far from the sun, on Nástrǫnd, its doors look north; drops of poison fall in through the roof-vents, the hall is woven of serpent's spines. (Vǫluspá 38)
Níðhǫggr rips and tears victims asunder while the half rotten queen welcomes new doomed warriors in her dark hall, all fallen in worlds above. Hel this land is called, populated by countless sword-bladed decaying bodies. Let Hel hold what she has until Naglfar sails.

Quotation from the beguiling of Gylfi.
It was many ages before the earth was shaped that the Mist-World was made; and midmost within it lies the well that is called Hvergelmir, from which spring the rivers called Svöl, Gunnthrá, Fjörm, Fimbulthul, Slídr and Hríd, Sylgr and Ylgr, Víd, Leiptr; Gjöll is hard by Hel-gates.

“alphakuriboh: Ylgr, Ylgr, Ylgr! Tiny murder dagger child. She’s so fast. 38 neutral and Sylgr gives +3 spd on top of that. If you can get SS3 and a Spd Lull she gets pretty scary.”
I kinda like Spring Veronica more, but I’ll give a bit to both and see how starts picking up better skills and make a call that way.  I already got Laegjarn though, so I’m pretty happy with that.

the legendary weapons of zenith
in the days of old, humanity and the divine dragons fought the gods to stop ragnarok. to even the odds, humanity forged weapons for their champions and they were blessed by the rogue goddess anna, who forsook her peers and sided with the ‘enemy’. these weapons would go on to be passed down through each royal family, eventually ending up in alfonse’s, sharena’s, veronica’s, bruno’s, fjorm’s, gunnthra’s, surtr’s, and laegjarn’s hands.
líf, chosen by askr, was gifted the sword and lance of light: fólkvangr and fensalir. though he did use both interchangeably, his swordsmanship was so renowned that all surviving records of him make mention of fólkvangr. to be fair, it was the weapon he favoured. both blade and sword act as mediums to channel the power to open gateways to other worlds granted by askr’s blood.
thrasir, chosen by embla, was gifted the tome of poison and divine staff: élivágar and hliðskjálf. she was also in possession of valaskjálf, though it was one of her personal tomes. over time, records would only list thrasir as a mage. her use of hliðskjálf would be lost to history, and it would be assumed the staff was simply emblian regalia. strangely hliðskjálf and both tomes, not just élivágar, act as mediums to channel the power to close gateways to other worlds granted by embla’s blood. perhaps because they were both used by thrasir herself? it is a mystery...
slídr, chosen by nifl, was gifted the lance of ice and tome of storms: leiptr and blizzard. he was known as a lancer, though records have survived of his magical prowess. after founding the kingdom of nifl, the sword gjöll and dagger sylgr were forged as well, though they are simply niflese regalia. while one is not required to be in possession of leiptr or blizzard to undertake the rite of frost, nifl is more likely to confer her power should they be present.
the champion of múspell, who still needs a name, was granted the axe and sword of flames: sinmara and níu. she was known for her prowess with an axe, though noted to be a skilled swordswoman. after founding the kingdom of  múspell, the blade laevatain was also forged... though there seems to be something strange about it. while one does not need to be in possession of sinmara or níu to undertake the rite of flame, the dragon is more likely to recognize the royal bloodline.

It was many ages before the earth was shaped that the 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭 - 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 was made; and midmost within it lies the well that is called Hvergelmir, from which spring the rivers called Svöl, Gunnthrá, Fjörm, Fimbulthul, Slídr and Hríd, Sylgr and Ylgr, Víd, Leiptr; Gjöll is hard by Hel-gates. Just as cold arose out of 𝐍𝐢𝐟𝐥𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐦, and all terrible things, so also all that looked toward Múspellheim became hot and glowing; but Ginnungagap was as mild as windless air, and when the breath of heat met the rime, so that it melted and dripped, life was quickened from the yeast-drops, by the power of that which sent the heat...
