Too, it is whispered that Heimdallr has some connection to Yggdrasil, the World Tree. As befitting one of the Aesir, he is a masterful combatant, and his foreknowledge gives him an edge over all but the most unpredictable – or skilled – of opponents. He also possesses the gift of foresight, allowing him to predict his opponent's moves before they occur and to sense the approach of inimical forces. But it is not only his senses which make Heimdallr a superb sentinel. His trumpet, Gjallarhorn, can be heard across the Nine Worlds when blown. His hearing is so sharp that he can perceive the soft whisper of growing grass, and the murmur of the dead.
It is said that Heimdallr requires less sleep than a bird, and can see for hundreds of leagues.
With sharp eyes and keen hearing, Heimdallr stands guard over the halls of the gods, alert for the approach of any enemy as well as the first stirrings of Ragnarok. The watchman of Asgard is a sentry without equal in the Nine Realms and he maintains his eternal watch where the rainbow bridge meets the sky. And no guardian is more steadfast in their duties than keen-eyed Heimdallr, sentinel of the Bifrost.
