Vanaheim is one of the ice countries, the Western half of Nordheim. Located north of Cimmeria, this is a land that is homed to the red haired Vanir, rival to the yellow haired Aesir.

Their god is Ymir, the Frost Giant and the Vanir are one of the most ferocious barbaric races of the Hyborian Age.

They are inspired by the early Scandinavian cultures
