'''Norse mythology''' is the legends and [[pagan]] religious belief of the [[Vikings]].  They believed that the World (Midgard = 'Middle Earth') was supported on the World Tree (Yggdrasil) and lay between [[Asgard]] (Over-Heaven, the abode of their gods) and Hel (the underworld). They believed in [[dragon]]s, who hoarded gold and treasure, and the greatest of these the Midgard Serpent, encircled the world.  They believed in other supernatural beings such as [[troll]]s, [[dwarves]] and [[elves]].

The gods ([[Odin]], [[Thor]] etc.), and their human allies would be defeated and destroyed at [[Ragnarok]], the last battle when the Ice Giants, the Midgard Serpent and the Wolf Fenrir would destroy Asgard and [[Midgard]].  But the Vikings still thought it better to fight on the side of the gods, even with knowledge of their ultimate defeat.
