Adils
Adils (Old Norse Aðils; also Eadgils, Adillus, Athisl, Adhel) is a semi‑legendary sixth‑century Swedish king attested in Old Norse saga material and later medieval traditions. He appears in saga episodes as a storied royal figure involved in warfare, court acts, and marriage suits rather than as a supernatural being.

He appears as the brother of Völund (Wayland/Weland) in the Old Norse poem Völundarkviða and in the Thidreks saga, and his name is also inscribed on early medieval objects (Franks Casket, Pforzen buckle). The attested material presents him as a named heroic human archer within saga and inscriptional contexts rather than as a recurrent supernatural species.
Beaduhild (Böðvildr)
Beaduhild (Old Norse Böðvildr; Old English Beaduhild/Beadohild; also Bodil, Badhild) is a legendary human princess in Germanic heroic tradition whose life is entangled with the smith Wayland (Weland/Vǫlundr). In earlier sources she appears as a tragic victim in the Weland cycle; in later Scandinavian recensions she is recast as Wayland's wife and the mother of a heroic descendant (Viðga).
Brynhildr (Brunhild / Brunhilda)
Brynhildr (Old Norse) — also known as Brunhild or Brunhilda in Germanic tradition — is a named valkyrie and tragic heroine of the Sigurd/Brunhild cycle in Old Norse-Icelandic heroic poetry.

He functions as an important counselor and martial figure within the Burgundian court and is implicated in central narrative conflicts of the cycle, including enmity with figures such as Siegfried.
Heodenings
A named princely household/retinue in the Germanic heroic-legend tradition, remembered chiefly for its association with a legendary, recurring battle cycle (Hjaðningavíg, the legend of Heðinn and Hǫgni) and cited in Old English poetry as a hall where a poet once held bardic office.
Háma (Hama / Heime / Heimir)
Háma (also rendered Hama, Heime, Heimir) is a named figure of the Germanic heroic-legend tradition attested in Anglo‑Saxon and continental Germanic sources. He appears as a legendary warrior or retainer — often associated with the companion Witige — in poems such as Beowulf and Widsith and in later Germanic epic material (Alpharts Tod, Þiðreks saga). A single secondary source records a variant identification of the name with a mythic watchman figure linked to Heimdallr and the Bifrost; this identification is presented in the available material as a distinct, unverified tradition.
