		Family    Freyr is the son of Njord and Njord's sister. His step-mother's name is Skadi. Freyr's name  literally means "Lord", and it is possible that He was once the consort of Freya (his sister) whose name literally means "Lady". His wife is a beautiful giantess named Gerd, who He fell for when He sighted her from Odin's throne. More    Freyr is the owner of the ship named Skidbladnir ("wooden-bladed") which was created by the dwarves for His use. The ship is able to sail through air, land and sea and is large enough to fit all the Gods into. Despite its large size, the ship is able to be folded up to fit into a pocket.
