Ymir |
At the beginning of times, the Emptiness Ginnungagap reigned. In the South, was the world of .Muspell
which was bright and shiny. In the North, was Niflheim
, a world of Giants, of ice and coldness. And in the middle of all that, there was a world where everything
is cool like in harmony. That's the place where the Father of Gods called Alfadr reigned. But soon enough,
it was about time for him to create a new world, so he opened the mouth of the source Hvergelmir to reveal
the eleven rivers.
With the interaction of coldness and warmth, the Giant Ymir
and the cow Audhumla were born. Four milky rivers flowed out from her udder, which enabled Ymir to be fed.
That's how the first living being was born.
