Northern Europe recognized another master of the sea, Aegir, who lived either in his ice palaces or on the island of Les (Khles) in the area of the Kattegat Strait.
Aegir probably belonged to an earlier dynasty of gods, as he is not mentioned with either Aesir, Vanir, Giants, Dwarfs, or Elves. However, in his domain, his power is unlimited.
According to legend, he caused and pacified terrible storms in the depths of the sea. He was usually depicted as a withered gray-haired old man with a long beard, with his hands clasped convulsively with sharp claws, as if he wanted to keep everything in his power. Emerging from the depths of the sea, Aegir chased overturned ships, and then eagerly carried them along with him to the bottom of the sea. It was believed that in this occupation he found devilish pleasure.
Aegir married his sister, the goddess Ran. She was as rude, greedy, and insatiable as her husband. Her favorite pastime was to hide behind dangerous rocks, where she lured sailors and where her net was stretched - the most precious thing she had.
The goddess of the sea Ran is a beautiful mermaid who lived in a golden palace on the seabed.
Ran and Aegir very often held feasts for the Scandinavian gods in their amazing underwater palace.
