Loðurr (Lothurr)

Loðurr's name means 'yielding fruit', and he is the embodiment of fire. His energy is able to lock up, or free, the energy that is held in other matter, just like fire. He is Oðinn's blood brother, and great friend, just as wind and fire truly cannot exist without each other. It is said he is one of the first Vanir. He works in the worlds by helping folk unlock their hidden potential, by stirring things up that have become stagnant and foul - in other words he keeps energy flowing in order that the worlds may evolve. It used to be said that certain odd forms of lightning, such as ball lightning, were thrown by his hands. He shows folk the weaknesses and selfishness that lie within them, and helps them to move beyond into noble action and right purpose. His mother is Laufey, her name means 'leafy', and his brother is Byleist. Loðurr's first wife was Angrboda, 'harm-causer', a Jotnarin, and by her his children are Hela, Fenrir, and Jormungandr. He also had the son Narvi, and a child named Ali. Jormungandr's name means, 'jorth's wolf'. His other well-known companion was Sigyn, whose name means 'faithful girlfriend'.

Týr

Tyr is the chieftain of the warrior class. His name means 'god', and just like the rune tivaz, it also means 'victory'. He is known by some as Oðinn's brother. His duty is as a living example of honour, defense of kin and property, nobleness of nature, and right striving. His most famous weapon is the sword, and the shield. Some say he trains the Æsir from youth in the martial arts.

Tyr cared for the pup Fenrir, whose name means 'marsh-dweller', when no one else could train him, and when he became mature, and so wild everyone decided to bind him up, Tyr gave his hand to Fenrir for having had to decieve him into being bound. There is another canine, a dog named Garm, whose name means 'rag', that watches the main gate in Helheimr, who has sworn him an enemy.

Mimr

Mimr is guardian of the well under Læraðr. He is known as a master-smith, and some say he too is Oðinn's brother. He shares drinks from the well with those that come in need, and with those that deserve a glimpse of higher knowledge, for the water in that well is empowered with oðr. He is a master with the runes, as well as a master at forging great weapons. Those that are seeking hidden answers often ask him for aide.
