In the beginning Jörð mothered Njord and Hœnir. She created the mountains as a sanctuary for her sons. Njord created the great sea and Hœnir brought Landvættir bringing life essence to the land. After some time Njord was longing for companionship so Jörð brought him Rán. However, Rán was known to cause havoc. Hœnir had enough and formed Hod from his anger and Delling from his righteousness. Together they formed a massive whirlpool in the center of the ocean restraining Rán in its depths. Together the two brothers Delling and Hod created man from the trees that populated the land.
