Asgard
Origin
Buri was the first Asgardian and his origins are shrouded in myth and legend.
As Buri aged, he grew both wise and strong, taking a Jotunheim Frost Giant as his wife and having three sons: Bor, Mimir, and Njord.
When Buri abdicated the throne, it left Bor as the ruler of Asgard. A born warrior, he led his people in a time of power and prosperity and won their loyalty both through his leadership and also through his triumphs on the field. He was one of the Gods who had created the Universe, and along with his other accomplishments was an unquestionable and powerful ruler.
Bor Burison went on to found Asgard, home of the Aesir, while Buri went to live as a recluse taking on the identity "Tiwaz" in the northern reaches of Asgard, in Nastrond, living among ephemeral servants he created by sculpting ice and animated with life.
His other son Njord left to found Vanaheim and sire the Vanir.
Bor took the Jotunheim Frost Giantess Bestla as his wife, and they had four sons, Cul, Vili, Ve, and Odin who would be Bor's heirs - although Cul would be forgotten until much later.
When Odin Borson was born, Bor paid him special attention, grooming him to one day take his place as King. He taught Odin how to fight, how to rule, how to serve, and also how to defend his dreams. Yet he didn't encourage his son to dream on his own, and when Odin went against him, he was driven to rage.
After Bor's death, Odin challenged and bested Buri as well.
Reign of Odin
When they were younger, Vili, Ve, and Odin journeyed into the realm of the Muspelheim Fire Demon Giant Surtur. Vili and Ve sacrificed themselves to allow Odin to escape from Surtur's realm. Upon their deaths, Odin's own godly attributes were increased as a result of his brothers' powers joining with his.
Odin once battled an unbelievably powerful cosmic storm called the God Tempest when it threatened Asgard. Odin defeated the God Tempest and sealed it away into a chunk of Uru that would one day be forged into the mighty hammer Mjolnir.
As time passed, the Aesir and Vanir eventually became rivals.
A generation ago as Gods perceive time, the young king Odin of the Aesir tried to force the union of the two tribes, and went to war with Freyr and the people of Vanaheim. Seemingly over a matter of pride, Freyr refused to bend, and received support from Surtur of Muspelheim. The war ultimately ended with a peace treaty and marriage between the two royal families, as Odin Borson was betrothed to Freyr's daughter Frigga Freyrdottir. Their union marked the union of the two people. No matter the peace, and despite the fact that the records of the war were destroyed, a certain grudge existed among the Vanir towards the Aesir and Asgard remained, even beared by Njord, who despised Odin's race. Although, Vanir and Aesir mixed, and couples were wed at the Temple of Union.
