Vanaheim

Vanaheim is the homeworld of the Vanir, an ancient people older in some ways than the Aesir themselves — masters of life, growth, prophecy, and the deep psionic arts. Where the Aesir built, the Vanir cultivated; their whole world is a single grown organism, its cities indistinguishable from forests.

The Aesir–Vanir War ended not in destruction but in a hostage exchange and a binding peace. Today Vanaheim is a realm of the empire, its great names — Njord, Freyr, and Freyja — seated among the Aesir as honored "equals." Not every Vanir believes the word.

The Aesir–Vanir War

TODO: the war, the truce, the exchange of hostages, and the price of peace.

Culture

TODO: the grown cities, seidr-craft, and the long Vanir memory of independence.
