In the mythic world of Norse cosmology, the Jötnar, or Frost Giants, were ancient, powerful beings born from ice and chaos. They are said to be the descendants of Ymir, the first giant, whose body formed the very world.
They often live in Jötunheim, a wild and dangerous realm beyond the gods’ orderly world. While sometimes enemies of the Aesir, Frost Giants aren’t always purely evil—they’re chaotic, ancient forces that challenge the gods and keep the cosmic balance. Some giants even intermarry with the gods, making them a complex and essential part of the Norse mythic world.
