The Rökkr can be described as the Nightside deities of northern European mythology, primal beings who predate the more familiar Aesir and Vanir pantheons. They are often the spirits of primordial concepts such as fire, ice, death, and the underworld, and can be compared to the Titans of Greek mythology, or the Nephilim of Semetic myth. Included in their number are Hela (goddess of death and the underworld), Iormungand (the world serpent), Fenrir (kozmic wolf), Loki (trickster god), Angrboda (mother goddess and teacher of seidr), Surt (fire giant), and Nidhogg (tellurian dragon).
