Norse Myth

Scandinavian Myth, the Corner Which Is Forgotten By Humans.

Do you remember, Odin, when in bygone days
we mixed our blood together?
You said you would neer drink ale
unless it were brought to both of us.

Norse apologue is a multi-god system. It is mainly divided into four part: Giants, immortals, Elves and Dwarves. Giants created the world.
Giants give birth to the gods, but they ar similarly the biggest enemies of the gods. Gods are divided into two parts. One is Aesir, which leader is the Lord God Odin; the other one is Njord, Nereus, the chief of Vanir. There are 12 Lord Gods in Norse myth:

? Frigg ???: She is in charge of marriage and family. She is Odins wife.
? Loki ??: He is the fire-god, Odins brother, the desc blockants of Giant Ymir. It is said that Loki is handsome but grumpy. He becomes to be a fiend at last.
