The Aesir were one of the people of Nordheim during the Hyborian Age. Along with the Vanir, they formed the Nordheimr.
They were typified by blue eyes and blond hair.[1]
History
Origins
The Aesir were probably descendants of the people of the pre-Cataclysmic kingdom of Thule,[2] as were the Vanir.[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]
Culture
Religion
The main deity of this culture was Ymir.[1]
