AEgir

AEgir is the Norse god of the ocean and sea creature that was both worshiped and feared by sailors, for they believed that he would appear on occasion on the oceans surface and take the men, cargo and ships with him to his hall at the bottom of the ocean. To appease AEgir sacrifices, particularly those of prisoners, were made before a voyage. AEgir was known for throwing elaborate parties, where ale poured itself and is lit with gold, for the gods of the AEsir

  Now there has been some on whether AEgir was a jotun (giant) for while many versions of his story portray him as a giant just as many do not. In some texts he is referred to as something older than the jotun and some will say that AEgir's origins aren't really explained and yet some, mainly Fuddin Norgr will list him as the son of the giant Fornjotr and as the brother of Logi (fire) and Kari (the air). AEgir was the husband of the sea goddess Ran and they are the parents of nine billow maidens also known as the Nine Daughters of AEgir.
