Norway

When the heat from Muspelheim met the cold from Nivlheim a giant power, Yme, was created. Yme created life on its own. Along with Yme, a great ancient cow was created, Audhumbla, 'the cow rich on milk'. Yme would feed from the cow which licked salt from stones. One day he licked out a head. This was Bure, which means 'son'. Bure created Bor, which also means 'son'. Bure and Bor are not related to Yme.
