Norse Gods

The Norse gods are the main pantheon of deities in God of War (2018). They are one of most powerful races to inhabit the Nine worlds and are viewed as protectors of Midgard and humankind. Despite being the same race, the Norse gods are divided into two tribes, the warlike Æsir gods, and the pacifists Vanir gods.

Æsir

The Æsir gods are more aggressive and warlike than the Vanir, representing the brute strength and raw power of nature. They also believe that the only way for someone to achieve an honored death is to die in battle.

Æsir Gods

• Odin: God of Death / the Dead, Wisdom/Knowledge, The Gallows, Poetry, War/Battle, Sky, Wind, Crafts, Time, Healing, Royalty, Poetry, Frenzy, Divination, Runic Alphabet and Magic/Sorcery. The All-Father and ruler/king of Asgard.
• Thor: God of Thunder, Strength, Storms, Fertility, Lightning, Oak trees, Consecration, Bravery, Hallowing and Fertility; Protector of Mankind and of the Fortress of Asgard.
• Tyr: (Deceased) God of War, Law, Justice, Single Combat, Trial, Heroic Glory, Honor, Courage, Oaths, Authority and Duells.
• Baldur: (Deceased) God of Light, Joy, Purity, Peace, Spring, Forgiveness, Prophecy and the summer sun.
• Modi: (Deceased) Son of Thor.
• Magni: (Deceased) Son of Thor.

Vanir

The Vanir gods represent more peaceful aspects of nature and possess far more magic knowledge than the Æsir. Instead of focusing on war, the Vanir try to keep peace and order on the nine realms.
