Bor A son of Buri and married to Bestla, and father of Odin, Vili, and Ve which embody all that is good. Bad giants from Thrudgelmir tried to destroy the powers of Good and therefore a long war between gods and giants happened at which not either party could win. Finally, Odin, Vili, and Ve ambushed the giant Ymir and killed him. He bled so fiercely from his wounds that surrounding giants drowned in his blood and only Bergelmir and his wife survived. The both of them traveled in a boat to the land of Jöthunheim at where they started a new race of giants. After having killed Ymir, Odin and his two brothers decided to create the world out of his carcass. His blood became the oceans, his flesh became Midgard, bones became mountains and valleys, his teeth formed cliffs, his hair became the plant life, his skull became the sky, and his brain became the everlasting bulgious clowds. See how they created the first two human beings on this link.
