Odin (or Woden) was a great chief in Asgaard, Asaland, or Asia, with two brothers, Ve, the other Vilje. Odin waged war against Vanalanders (in Asia) unsuccessfully. After years of mutual ravaging, both countries sent their best men to settle a truce and come to peace in Vanaheim, . Aagaard sent Hone, a chief and Mime, a man of great understanding. Vanaland sent Njord the Rich, and his son Frey and Kvase, a wise man. The Vanalanders thought Hone had deceived them, beheaded Mime and snet his head to Odin, who preserved it with herbs and it became powerful. Njord and Frey became priests and Diar of the Asian people. Njord's daighter, Freya, became the first priestess of sacrifice who taught magic to the Asians. Odin appropriated to himself the whole of that district, and called it Sigtun. To the temple priests he gave also domains. Njord dwelt in Noatun, Frey in Upsal, Heimdal in the Himinbergs, Thor in Thrudvang, Balder in Breidablik; to all of them he gave good estates.
Odin moved to the lands in the north, and taight the people there (Swedes?)
. After Odin's death, Njord was the high king of all the
Swedes.
