Jötnar (plural of Jötunn) are creatures that share a bloodline to the primordial being Ymir, having been born from his sweat. Jötnar predate all of the Aesir and some, like Odin, are descendants of Jötnar.
Their descendant, also called Jötunnkyn live in the northernmost edges of the world a place regarded to be dark and foreboding, where winter never ceases.
They live a life of tough survival and endurance in the unforgiving lands that host them, they have grown accustomed to this harsh lifestyle. Their lives are spent in veneration of their forefather, blood sacrifices of fallen beast they've hunted are common practice in their culture.
Appearance: they look humanoid, although they are much taller and larger than the average human. Their skin has a blue tint to it, reflecting their ancestral blood. Many bear horns, goat-like in appearance, protruding from the side of their skull. Their eyes are pupil-less and uncolored.
Ginnungagap have inherited ancestral magic. In tune with the elements they are often druids who scour the land in search of remedies, or in search of wisdom to counsel cheiftains.
