Aesir
the aesir are said to be the oldest known society besides the Vanir that existed during the time before the gods. the aesir were legendary for their knowledge and mastery over runes and technology at the time. it was said that they could travel between worlds even before the world tree was born. while it is assumed that the aesir are native to Midgara there is reason to suggest that their anscestors settled there from some unknown realm outside of ours.
Naming Traditions
Family names
the aesir followed a naming convention where a child would be named after a certain star in the sky. in their time they had the ability to chart the stars with immense precision and had developed a system where each star was named based on its constelation and location in the sky to create a set of phonetic sounds that became a name. it was not uncommon for more than one person to have the same name as someone else if they were both named after a specific and poplularly liked constelation.
Culture
Art & Architecture
while their culture is no longer around, there are remnants of their pasts found in some places all across the realms. the most prominant locations are the ruins of Mysica and several other less understoon structures found on Midgara, as well as some ruins of cities, and bases found on the surface of Jotun. theses structures were known for their grand stonework and tapestires carved into polished walls. they greatly favored things that were larger than life and filled their artwork with depictions of stars and long forgotten constelations.
it is suspected that they are also responsible for a few unidentified structures that seem to orbit around the planetary systems of Jotun, Midgara, Vanyr, and Nidvella.
