| In spite of their origin, Frey and Freyja become to all intents and purposes Aesir. |
| The god, now ready to resign the empire of the world and prepared for the ending of the Aesir, awaits the hero's coming. |
| Like his father and sister, he was originally a Vanir, but he became an important god of the Aesir. |
| The Vanir then made common cause with the Aesir and were worshipped like them. |
| Fortunately, this betrayal did not lead to another war and all the gods of the Vanir were subsequently integrated with the Aesir. |
| All the above deities, together with a number of others less important, form a regularly organised community, like the Aesir. |
