Overview
The Aesir were one of the people of Nordheim during the Hyborian Age. Along with the Vanir, they formed the Nordheimr.

History
Origins
The Aesir were probably descendants of the people of the pre-Cataclysmic kingdom of Thule,[2] as were the Aesir.[3][4]
Hyborian Age
2,500 years after the Lesser Cataclysm, the Nordics (Aesir and Vanir) drove all the remaining Hyborian tribes out of all the snow-countries, save for Hyperborea. Their land was known as Nordheim,[5] the Vanir living in Vanaheim, the western part of it.[6]
500 years after the Age of Conan, the north was the theater of constant bickering between the Cimmerians, the Bossonians, the Picts and the Nordheimr.[7]
