Let’s talk about Ull, shall we?

There’s a whole lotta good stuff in the Prose Edda (kind of sort of the Viking Bible) and the Marvel folklore about Thor, God of Thunder, Prince of Asgard, All Around Great Guy. But there’s barely anything out there about his stepson, Ull, Norse God of Winter.

According to the Prose Edda, Ull is the son of the goddess Sif, and the stepson of her hammer-weilding hubby, Thor. He lives in a hall called Ydalir, which essentially breaks down to “where there are lots of Yew Dales.” He’s the God of Winter (and skiing!), and he may or may not have had a thing for that jotunish winter chick, Skadi.

And that’s all we know … But the lack of info on Ull made him the perfect character for the Elsker Saga, by my friend S. T. Bende. Elsker, the first book in the series is available free in the Gods & Mortals box set on Amazon, iBooks, Kobo, and Nook.
