Tacitus' Nerthus was probably a member of this group and the Old English Runic Poem identifies one of them who departed over the sea in a chariot, Ing. One of them possible cognate with Ing sent his servant Skirnir to woo Gerd. Another member of this group was chosen by the giantess Skadi as her husband for having the most beautiful feet; that god's daughter possessed the necklace Brisingamen.
