Æsir

The Æsir are a group of deities in Norse mythology, primarily associated with war, governance, and order. They are among the major gods, including figures like Odin, Thor, and Frigg. The Æsir represent various aspects of life and nature, embodying traits like strength, wisdom, and fertility. Their stories are central to Norse myths, which were passed down through poetry and sagas, illustrating themes of heroism, fate, and the struggles between gods and giants. The Æsir's interactions with other beings, including the Vanir (another group of gods), shape much of the mythological narrative.
