The Blood of the Firsts

In the days of the Realm’s beginning, it was only El. Then Angolon was dreamed into being. And then together they began to dream the dreams that would wake the varied beings of the world.

One could not be faulted for assuming that the first to wake in the realm were the Gods of Asgard. But one would be mistaken. The Gods are old and powerful to be sure, but not as ancient and immortal as the beings that would go on to settle Vanaheim.

These are known as the Vanir.
