Among the barbarian Aesir and Vanir of Nordheim, Ymir the Frost Giant, lord of storm and war, is chief of all gods, while individual tribes might have their own local deities as well.
Ymir's domain was Valhalla, a snowy, shadowy place that is home to warriors fallen in battle; Ymir's daughter, Atali, is said to have appeared to dying warriors as harbinger of their journey to her father's realm. Those who are neither Aesir nor Vanir seem however doomed to have their mighty hearts cut from their breasts, and served up to Ymir on a platter.
