At the beginning there was nothing. No earth at all. Bur's sons created the land. They created Mithgarth. The moon came from the south and the stars came out. The gods held a council and decided what to call the things in this world. The gods made building and tools. Then they created giants. Out of Brimir's blood they created dwarfs. The dwarfs made their home in the land. The gods created man and gave them rules. War then spread thought the world. The river Slith then was created in the world. A giant then stole the sun from the sky. The gods held a council. A boat with the people from Hel then sailed out. The people fight vicious wolves. The people remember the ancient times when the Gods were there. A leader comes from the people to save them. A dragon then comes out of the earth. This is a summery of the Norse story in the Edda poem.Source:
