The Building and Asgard and The First Humans

Whilst walking along the shore the three brothers; Odin, Vili and Ve came across two trees that had been washed up, taking these two trees the three created the first humans. The first god gave them life and breath, the second intelligence and movement, and it was from the third that humans gained a face, speech, hearing and their eyesight.

The humans were given clothing and permitted to live upon Midgard; the humans were called Ask (Ash) and Embla, it is from these two that all human races descend from.

In the middle of the world above the Earth the gods built their stronghold and named their home Asgard (Aesir-home). Odin, also known as Alfodr (All-father), established the many seats of power to which he assigned different men with the order to arrange a government.

In the middle of this stronghold there was a place named Idavellir (The field of action). The first action performed by the men was the building of a temple which they named Gladsheim (Bright home). Once the temple was completed they built another building; inside this building they they created a hearth and made themselves tools for craftsmanship. (Hammers, tongs, anvils etc, think Skyrim blacksmith if you play it). Using these tools they created metal, stone and wood, including the metal called gold.  After this they built many other dwellings.

Once the stronghold was completed they established the heavenly seats and divided day and night. Thus Asgard came into existence.
