Lore

Njord is a Vanir god of the sea, wind, fishing, and wealth in Norse mythology, father of Freyr and Freya. He controls calm seas and favorable winds, bringing prosperity to sailors and fishermen. Married to giantess Skadi, their union was uneasy due to differing homes (sea vs. mountains). Njord owns swift ships and is associated with coastal abundance. In myths, he represents harmony with the sea and the rewards of maritime life, embodying the Vanir focus on fertility and wealth over Aesir warlike traits.
