Ancient history

vanes

In Norse mythology, the Vanes represent a race of gods who for a time fought with the Aesir. This war ended with a truce and the exchange of some deities. The Vanes sent Njord, Freyr and Freyja, and the Aesir sent them the simpleton Hoenir and Mimir. The Vanes, angry at this unbalanced exchange, decapitated Mimir and sent his head to Ásgard.

The episode, however, remained unfinished.
