		Gefjon has been described as a fertility goddess; however, she is not one of the Vanir.
		Some sources say that she was a virgin maiden while other myths denote her as giving birth to four sons by a giant.
		With this plough she gouged out a large piece of land from Sweden (now Lake Mälaren) and dragged it into the sea; this is the part of Denmark now known as Zealand.

		I think Gefjon was a cheat but if you didn't like it, you didn't have to use it.
		With Gefjon, you just have to get a fast ship, some big escorts, tell them to hang back, and afterburn from one planet to the next, which can be done when you don't have a lot of money to start with, getting you an ungodly amount of money in an incredibly short amount of time.
		Anyways, there is a plugin made a while ack that made Gefjon planets further apart and with more pirates to make it harder, and there is another I think to make opals less profitable or something.

		In some passages he claims Gefjon is a virgin, and elsewhere says she has sons.
		My best guess is that Snorri got his information about Gefjon from at least two different sources (one being a now lost poem by the poet Bragi).
		Perhaps Snorri misheard the story which stated that Gefjon was attended by girls who died unmarried and it didn't actually mention that Gefjon herself was unmarried.
