Njörðr

Njörðr was also linked to wind, wealth and the fertility of crops. By his unnamed twin sister he was father of Freyr and Freyja. The poem Grímnismál gives him a hall at Nóatún.

After the war between the Æsir and the Vanir he went to the Æsir as a hostage. His marriage to the giantess Skaði was unhappy. His name matches that of Nerthus, a fertility goddess recorded in the first century, and many Scandinavian place names contain it.
