Pen and ink. In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is an immense ash tree that is central and considered very holy. The branches of Yggdrasil extend far into the heavens, and the tree is supported by three roots that extend far away into other locations; one to the well Urðarbrunnr in the heavens, one to the spring Hvergelmir, and another to the well Mímisbrunnr. Creatures live within Yggdrasil, including the wyrm (dragon) Níðhöggr, an unnamed eagle, and a mischievous squirrel called Ratatoskr who carries messages and insults between the two.
