Asen, a Norse name of the Germanic gods, is a god gender in the Norse mythology. According to the Younger Edda, twelve Asens live in Asgard (seat of the gods). They rule over the world and the people. They are attributed qualities such as strength, power and power. They are largely humanized, so they have an earthly everyday life. Like humans, they are mortal. Only through the apples of the Idun they keep themselves young until almost all of them are killed to the Ragnarök.
