New Asgard has evolved as a culture since moving to earth. There are some Asgardian traditions that mankind would not necessarily seem appropriate for modern earth society. The government of New Asgard acknowledges this, and has tried to implement changes to its culture in an attempt to accommodate their visitors.
For the first time in Asgard’s history, there is a female King! Thor, Odin’s son and the heir to the throne, graciously stepped aside and let his fellow Avenger Valkyrie be ruler. Under her guidance, she has made Asgardians feel like they are one of us, not above us.
The fashion of New Asgard can seem as old-fashioned to some. But there is a relevance and elegance to it. Long flowing fabrics make up the majority of styles. Both men and women wear them along with battle armor as a sense of honor. Even Asgardian children wear armor in preparation for the day they become mighty warriors.* However, King Valkyrie’s outfit of choice is a suit. This shows the world that in New Asgard, people of all positions, genders, and species can be successful in anything they wear.
Language an aspect of Asgardian culture that has evolved over millenniums. Being on the oldest groups of people in the universe, and having access to all of the 9 realms, including Earth, Asgardians have had a hand in creating every human language. No matter what language you speak, all visitors will be able to make conversations with locals. The earthly language most similar to their native tongue is Icelandic. But, because Thor is an Avenger, he learned English and in turn taught it to his people (Reimer. 2022).
