This is a quick sketch (sorry it's a rough draft) of where Albiones resides. Tugadh Solais is actually that island on the top where the Academy is; Albiones is the much larger island on the bottom and Ubhal Òir is the small island above Albiones.
I messed up when writing it down.
Yggdrasil was the first tree and its three roots connect the 9 realms. All around it's base are groves of every kind of tree and one of these groves has a special apple tree with golden apples that reverse age which the Goddess Iduna watches over, collecting the apples and keeping them in a box so the tree remains hidden. The Founding Lifs and Lifthrasirs (otherwise known as the First Generation) imitated the effect of those apples in Albiones, the land that they created with their power.
They are not as effective as the Idunas' apples are. The being who consumes the apple has their aging slowed instead of reversed, matching 1 physical year to one Asgardian Year, which is equivalent to 1,200 Earth Years. Instead of being autonomous with the effects, the mortal created "Blessed Apples" only work in the land that they were grown in, binding body that is altered to that land.
Once consumed, the being has to live their long life confined to Albiones, never able to leave. It's not a matter of self preservation - they actually hit a barrier that they cannot cross.
