  Aesir
Niord, supposed to be the Nerthus known to the Romans, and his children Frey or Fricco and Freyia, appear to have been honoured in the north before the time of Odin, and to have been worshipped by peoples powerful enough to have been admitted into friendly alliance with his followers.
Niord is said to have lived in Vanaheim, and to have ruled over the Vanir, or light elves, long before he became one of the Aesir.
Niord’s son frey is the god of rain, plenty, and fruitfulness; and his worship, according to the early northern chornicler, Adam of Bremen, was accompanied with phallic rites.

 The Valley of the Worm by Robert E. Howard : Arthur's Classic Novels
But it was Niord who met the loathly demoniac thing that crawled hideously up from hell, and from which meeting sprang the cycle of hero-tales that revolves down the ages until the very substance of the truth is lost and passes into the limbo of all forgotten legends.
It is the adventure of Niord Worm's-bane of which I would speak -- the rootstem of a whole cycle of herotales which has not yet reached its end, the grisly underlying reality that lurks behind time-distorted myths of dragons, fiends and monsters.
I am James Allison no less than I was Niord, and as I unfold the tale, I will interpret some of his thoughts and dreams and deeds from the mouth of the modern I, so that the saga of Niord shall not be a meaningless chaos to you.

They include Niord, Freyr and Freya, who lived among the Aesir since the end of the conflict between the two clans of gods (traded for Mímir and Honir); the identity as Vanir of Skadi, Lýtir, Gerdr and Odr may be debated.
Skadi was a giantess married to one of the Vanir (Niord); Gerdr was also a giantess, with whom Freyr fell in love and with whom he managed to have a union, having sold his sword as payment; but it is not clear whether this union amounted to more than a single meeting.
Odr is mentioned in the Eddas very shortly as the husband of Freya, but nothing more is actually known about him (although it is often remarked that it was one of Odin's names).
