} Ask & Embla {
Ask and Embla were the first man and woman created in Norse mythology. One day Odin and two companions (the identity of those varies from story to story) were walking on the beach and came across two trunks that were shaped like a man and a woman. They decided to give these life and Odin blew life into them, while his companions gifted them understanding, appearance and senses. The two were given the name of Ask and Embla and given Midgard, the realm of humans. They became the predecessors of whole humanity.
