Gods of the Aesir include Thor, God of thunder, Odin's son Balder, Heimdall, Freyr, The war God Tyr, Odin's brothers Vili and Ve, and his son Vidar, who will avenge Odin's death at Ragnarok. Goddesses of the Aesir include Freja, a goddess of love, Odin's wife Frig, Thor's wife Sif, and Idun, the guardian of the apples of youth.
