The Giants liked strong beer and hearty food. They could not be moderate in this. Often drunk Thurs had little fancy fun, throwing boulders onto peaceful human settlements, storming the sea, when boats were running on it, be harassing wanderers with blizzards and frosts.
The dark-born giants hated everything and everyone, who loved the light and warmth of the sun's rays. The givers of light and joy became the object of their particular hatred, sun and moon. So they tried by all means to annihilate them, striving to plunge the world into chaos and darkness. If not for the protection of the gods and their vigilance, it would soon be eternal winter and night.
They drew their strength from the earth, how poisonous mushrooms extract their juices from the forest, in which they grew. Straszne jady Niflhellu, with which Ymir's body was imbued, have made, that everything, what is hostile and alien to man, it was close to the heart of giants. Darkness, inaccessible rocks, bitter cold, unbridled fire, whether the unstable and unfathomable depths of the seas were their favorite element. The exception was Agir, Sea giant. Reconciled with the beans, he often arranged feasts for them, hosting the Aesir in their undersea palaces. Bad to sailors, received them, when they drowned, in his court, where they lived joyfully at feasts and games, enjoying the sight of the lavishly laid table and beautiful daughter of the lord of the depths.
The giants also included Nomy - goddesses of fate. They came from Jotunheim, where the world was still young and inhabited Asgard, in place of, where the source called "Urd spring”. Three sisters spun a thread of fate for people and gods. They were strict and ruthless. They brought the world destiny and the awareness of the inevitability of the end.
Wolwy, the seers, was related to the Norns. Every now and then, in the family of the giant Widolf, women were born with the gift of seeing the future. Usually blind to contemporary things, they could see far and clearly in the distant, and in the near future. They guarded their knowledge jealously, rarely revealing the future to people, strong and god. Only by trick or spell it was possible to get an answer from them. Even Odin had to resort to the strength of the runes, to know the destiny of the world. Just like Nomy, they took the joy away from the world, so the Wolwy gave him hope.
