Nordheimr
The Nordheimr,[1][2] people of Nordheim,[3] Nordics, Nordic tribes, Nordic barbarians[4] were the people of Nordheim, the area north of the Hyborian Lands.[3] Collectively with the Cimmerians, they were known as Northmen[5] or northerners.[6]
They were golden-haired, blue eyed barbarians, divided between the red-haired Vanir and yellow-haired Aesir.[3]
They were supposed to descend from the people of the pre-Cataclysmic kingdom of Thule.[7] The Aesir descended into the Achaians, Gauls and Britons,[4] while the northern[2] Vanir descended into the Danes (and some Vanir adventurers were supposedly the ancestors of the red-headed Pharaohs of Egypt).[4]
Notes
Nordheimr is also the adjective form of Nordheim.[8][2]
