- 1. Vikings were seafaring people from Scandinavia known for their raids and conquests during the early Middle Ages. They were skilled sailors, warriors, and traders, and their influence extended far beyond their homelands. Norse mythology, the religion of the Vikings, was rich with gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures who inhabited the nine realms connected by the World Tree, Yggdrasil. Some of the most well-known Norse gods include Odin, the All-Father; Thor, the god of thunder; and Loki, the trickster god. The Vikings believed in a complex system of fate and destiny, where heroic deeds in battle could earn a place in Valhalla, the warrior's afterlife. Norse mythology continues to captivate people around the world with its tales of adventure, courage, and magic.
