Nott - goddess of the night
Nott is the goddess of the night in the Northern and Germanic pantheon, she is Mani's herald and she rides a black horse called Hrimfaxi. She is the granddaughter of Bergelmir whose son is Norfi, the famous giant who designed Asgard, Thrymheim and the halls of Utgard-Loki. Her first husband was a Jotun called Nagifari and together they had a son called Aud. Her second husband was Annar, a water-giant, and they had a daughter called Jord the mother of Thor. Her third husband is Delling, a red Alfar and their son is Daeg, the god of Day. Nott is a very old giantess, one of the oldest as a matter of fact. There are rumors that she had an affair with the old Vanir god Frodi, and with that union they had Njord, the god of sailors and seas. As her story is told and the many children she had, we can see she is not a maternal goddess, leaving her children to be raised by the fathers. But she is a very wise goddess and can be called by those who are in the dark, seaching for answers.

Daeg - god of day
Daeg is a sky-etin who travels across the sky with his horse Skinfaxi. Daeg is the bringer of days, he is the son of Nott and of Delling and Alfar lord. Actually Daeg is one of the few Jotun-Alfar hybrids that people know of, so he is tall as a giant and beautiful as an elf. However he has no wife, but many were those who succumb to his beauty, from many races, Jotnar, Aesir, Vanir and Alfar. As he is always so busy, he takes lovers instead of taking any wife, but his true love some say, is Sunna.
