In Norse mythology, Norðri, Suðri, Austri and Vestri ("Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western") are four dwarves in the ''Prose Edda'' book ''Gylfaginning'' who each support one of the four cardinal points. Together, they uphold the heavenly dome, created from the skull of the jötunn Ymir. They probably represent the four winds,〔Jacob Grim & James Steven Stallybrass, ''Teutonic Mythology'', 2004, vol. 2, p. 631.〕 corresponding to the four stags of the cosmic tree Yggdrasill.〔Finnur Magnússon, ''Eddalæren og dens oprindelse'', 1824, p. 144.〕 ==See also==
