The superhuman fearful giants living in Jötunheimr were enemies of


the Aesir gods and goddesses and there were frequent battles
between the two races. Nonetheless, three Jotun giants did enter the
Asgard, the realm of the Norse gods, and they were accepted. These
three giants were Aegit, the trickster god, Loki, and Karl.

Norse myths and legends tell that Asgard was separated by the river
Irving, which never freezes but is always flowing. This world is
located in the snowy regions of the furthest shores of the ocean. The
well of wisdom, Mimir, is located beneath the Midgard root of
Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life, and it's the well of Jötunheimr.

In Norway, there is a mountain called Jotunheimen (the home of the Ancient City Of
giants). Jøtunheimen was the name given to this mountain area by Kythnos
the Norwegian author Aasmund Olavsson Vinje in 1862, under the
inspiration of the wild landscape and Norse mythology. The Jotuns
— trolls — have their home here. Jøtunheimen later
became Jotunheimen, which is the name still used for this
magnificent mountain area.
