Ymir

More Information
Ymir, the Frost Giant, Lord of Storm and War, who according to legend lives in Valhalla, his castle far in northern Vanaheim. According to Nordheimr shamans, the souls of warriors who fall in battle go to Valhalla to feast and fight forever. This belief makes Nordheimr warriors terribly fierce in battle, and they often fight with no regard for their own safety. It is said that Frost Giants are the male children of Ymir and his singular daughter, Atali, is said to haunt the battlefields of men, luring them to their death in the frozen wastes of the north. When invoked, Ymir takes the form of a giant axe wielding Frost Giant that leaves destruction and frost in his wake.

“I have seen the hoar-frost glittering in the sun. I have heard the wind whispering across the everlasting snows. But with my mind's eye... I have seen the dark universe yawning. I have seen the black planets that roll without meaning or purpose or name.”
