The Viking creation story is that the Bur's son created the Earth. Midgard was the greatest world where the people live. The sun rose from the south where the elves were. It is said that "the moon knew not what might was his the stars knew not where their stations were"(Poetic Edda). This means that nothing knew where it was supposed to go. The gods then gave names to noon, night, and morning. The gods where living happily until giants came from Jotunheim and took their gold. They then created the dwarfs. The Yggdrasil tree is said to create all of the dew in the world, for it is the largest tree in the whole world. There was then a giant war, the first one in the world.
