Brief Bio

Jotnar are the powerful, diverse race of giants in Norse mythology, who originated from the primordial being Ymir and represent untamed, chaotic forces of nature, often in conflict with the gods (Aesir) but also with whom the gods sometimes intermarried. 

They inhabit Jotunheim, a separate realm in the Norse cosmos, and their conflict with the gods reaches a climax during Ragnarök, the end of the world.
