Nj ö r ð r. Sometimes also known as Nj ö rd, it is the sea god in Nordic mythology. He is in charge of the ocean, fisheries, and wealth, and is also regarded as the patron saint of navigation. When he is angry, he will wave the iron oar in his hand, which can not only easily cause towering waves, but also cause storms and tsunamis. When he is happy, the waves will become calm. Therefore, Viking pirates and fishermen highly admire him.
The main source of information about the deity of Niyod comes from the works of the mythologist Snory Sturusson in the high Middle Ages, such as "Essay Ada". In addition, some spells with his name have also been passed down. Some scholars associate him with the name Nassus, which was passed down from Tacitus.
Place names containing the name Niyod (mostly in the second person singular case Njar) ð AR) is mainly concentrated in the coastal areas of eastern Sweden, northern Norway, and western Norway.
Linking Neyod with Narcissus would pose certain problems, as Narcissus mentioned by Tacitus was a goddess and a very limited regional and tribal goddess. In addition, there is a significant time gap between Tacitus' works and Niyod's Scandinavian sources. In Scandinavian sources, Niyod is a male god. Various theories have been proposed to solve this problem. Some people believe that Nasser gradually expanded to Scandinavia. Some people also believe that he is a god of all Germanic people. Due to the evolution of language, he gradually became a male god. Some people believe that this is a pair of gods. Tacitus highlighted the goddesses among them, while Sturus highlighted the male gods among them
The third god, Asa, is named Niyod and lives in Nooton in heaven. He took control of the direction of the wind and quelled the raging fire and water. The crew and fishermen praised his name. Faced with those who pray, the wealthy will bestow abundance and land. He was raised in Warnerheim—— Deceiving Gurufi, Chapter 23

According to the book 'Gylfagining', Nyodus was a sea god who lived in the 'shipcity' of N ó at ú n and governed the winds, waters, and fires of the sea. He was originally a member of the Warner Protoss and grew up in Warnheim, but later became a hostage to the Asa Protoss along with his children Frey and Freya, and was accepted as a member of the Asa Protoss.
According to Chapter 56 of the Book of Poetry (Sk á ldskaparm á l), the giant Skati of Soremheim came to Asgard to avenge his father Shaki, who was killed by gods such as Loki of the Asa clan. After the gods comforted and explained the reasons for the situation, Skati proposed to choose a husband as a condition of forgiveness among the gods. The gods agreed to her request, but limited her ability to hide behind the curtains and only show her feet when selecting a husband. Skati fell in love with Bader. She thought that this handsome deity must have the smoothest and most beautiful feet, so she chose the cleanest pair when choosing, but in reality, those feet belonged to Niyod. As a sea god, he stands in the sea all year round, so his feet are washed clean by the sea water to the extreme. Sturusson emphasized that Skati and Niyod were siblings, and this incestuous relationship was not a problem among the Warner Protoss, but it was strictly prohibited among the Asa Protoss.
However, the two were unable to find a suitable place to live together after marriage, making it difficult to get along well. Due to their desire to stay in their original place of residence, they initially decided to spend nine nights at Skati's residence in Soremheim on a twelve day cycle, and then three nights at Niyod's residence in Noo (according to the Codex Regius version, the duration of their stay in both places was nine heats and colds). But in Noroton, near the sea, the sound of seagulls prevented Skati from falling asleep, while Niyod could not bear the mournful wolf calls in Soremheim. Sturusson said that Niyod later had two children, Frey and Freya. Igel is not very certain about this, as he believes that the number of days spent overnight by Niyod and Egil symbolize nine winter months and three summer months, respectively. During the three summer months, people mainly engaged in navigation, farming, and fishing under the control of the Warner Protoss, indicating that the legend of Niyod originated in the coastal areas of western Nordic Europe.
There is a mention in "Essay Ada" that the daughter of the giant Umir used Niyod's mouth as a urinal. According to the Heimskringla in Konungas ö gur, Niyod was an ancient king of Sweden and the successor to Odin. The Asa and Warner nationalities in ancient Sweden exchanged protons during the post-war peace talks. The Warner nationality sent Nijod and his children Frey and Freya to the Asa nationality for pledge, and the Asa nationality sent Hœnir to the Warner nationality for pledge. Odin appreciated the talents of Niyod and his children and appointed them as priests to be responsible for the altar in the Nooton region. However, after Odin's death, Niyod succeeded as king and maintained his rule with a strong army. During his reign, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and had abundant years in succession. Therefore, he was highly revered as the God of Abundance. However, most of the Asa people who were hostile to his tribe at that time were burned as sacrifices. The short article "Historia Norwegi Å" passed down from the 12th century has similar records.
