Norse gods

Valhalla's ruling pantheon

The Norse gods are the deities of pre-Christian Scandinavian mythology, including Odin, Thor, Freya, and Loki.

They inhabited realms like Asgard and Valhalla, and their stories of warfare, trickery, and apocalyptic doom (Ragnarök) have influenced fantasy literature, comics, and popular culture: The Marvel films draw heavily on the Norse gods.
