Wily

According to Scandinavian mythology, once, in times that neither people nor gods know about, because they were not able to remember, the giant Ymir was born, and with it the cow of Auduml appeared. She had plenty of milk, so that even Ymir was enough. But Audumla had nothing to eat, so she licked salty stones and by the end of the third day licked a new creature - Storms , that is, the Parent - who became the ancestor of all Ases . The Tempest has a son named Bur , that is, Born. Bohr married the daughter of a good giant and they had children - Odin , Willy and Ve .

Many events took place with the God-brothers, once they even had to clash with Ymir, whom they defeated.

The brothers threw Ymir's body into the very depths of the World Abyss and made the Earth out of it, and from the blood - lakes, rivers, and seas. Ymir’s bones became mountains, rocks and boulders came out of fragments of bones and teeth - it’s not without reason that they still stick out of the water, striving to cut through the bottom of a gullible ship ... From the skull of Ymir, the Gods built a firmament, and their brains were thrown into the air and made clouds - that’s why they are so insidious dark clouds, threatening now with a blizzard, then hail. Then the Gods took the sparkling sparks that flew around, breaking out of Muspell's flame, and attached them to Heaven. So we got motionless stars. Gods allowed other sparks to fly in the skies, but each was assigned a place and prepared a way.

Maria Semenova , “Nine Worlds”

Ymir's flesh
became land
his blood is by the sea
bones are mountains
the skull has become the sky
and hair - by the forest.

From his age Midgard
people was created
good gods;
from his brain
were created
dark clouds

Younger Edda

So the Three Brothers created the Midgard world, but it was not inhabited.

Once the brothers walked along the shore of the created world and saw two trees. And they thought what would happen if they were given life? Brothers took the trees and cut People out of them. One, the eldest of the brothers, gave them soul and life, Wiley gave them intelligence and movement, and Be endowed them with a good-looking face, speech, hearing and vision. And they gave the man the name Ask, that is, Ash, and the woman the name Embla, which meant Willow. And then the kind of people began, which the Gods fenced off from other worlds through the centuries of Ymir.

Alas, after the creation of people about the brothers Odin, Vily and Ve there were no references. In any case, Edd of the Icelandic poet and 13th century historian Snorri Sturluson does not contain those, which is almost the only source of information about German-Scandinavian mythology.
