A member of the Vanir clan, Njörðr was the go-to god for calm seas and good fishing trips. Featured in the 13th-century Poetic Edda, he’s sparked a flurry of debates among mythology buffs, connecting him with the Germanic goddess Nerthus along with the hero Hadingus, and hinting at his significant role in Norse paganism.

More than a mythical character, Njörðr symbolises the Vikings' deep connection to the sea, reflecting their fears and aspirations related to maritime life and the unpredictability of the natural world. Impressively, Njörðr is expected to make it through Ragnarok, the Norse apocalypse, showcasing his resilience.  Not just a hardy survivor, Njörðr is described as a "prince of men," benevolent and ruling over a "high-timbered temple" in his hall at Nóatún.
