Jafnhárr

Jafnhárr

Jafnharr ("Equally High" or "Just-as-high") is a member of the "Mysterious Three," those who guard Valhalla, the three kings of the Gylfaginning who sat on three thrones in Asgard and who answered the questions of King Gylfi. The other two were Harr ("High") and Thridi ("Third"). Each of them was, as it turned out, an incarnation of Odin.
