AESIR
The collective name for the twelve great gods of Norse legend, they who lived in Asgard, and with the All-Father Odin, ruled the lives of mortal men. They were:- Thor, Balder, Freya, Tyr, Bragi, Hodur, Heimdall, Vithar, Vili, Ullr, Ve and Forseti. Their thrones were in Gladsheim, one of the two mansions of Asgard.

I just found this on the internet and thought you all would like to know

</font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Shacknews</font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Blue's News</font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Evil Avatar</font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">VoodooExtreme</font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">IGN.com</font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Gamespot</font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Happy Puppy</font><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">... and several others I can't recall right now. Our motto is: "Hey, it's on the Internet, so it's gotta be true." graemlins/hhg.gif

It explains "Woden" too. As in Wotan or Odin.

Bah, where's my favorite god "echo"

Mythologically, she was a god who playfully imitated everything everyone else said. she was so annoying that they banished her to the bottom of a deep canyon.
