Annar
Dwarf who married Night and fathered Earth in Norse cosmogonic tradition.
Annar is a figure in Norse cosmological genealogy, identified as a dwarf who served as the husband of Nott (Night). According to the Heimskringla, Earth was their daughter (Heimskringla, The Chronicle Of The Kings Of Norway, 9. Of King Trygve). This brief attestation places Annar within the generative lineage connecting primordial forces -- Night producing Earth through union with a dwarf -- that structures the Norse cosmogonic narrative.
The sole attestation comes from an endnote in the Heimskringla, which states simply that "the dwarf Annar was the husband of Night, and Earth was their daughter" (Heimskringla, The Chronicle Of The Kings Of Norway, 9. Of King Trygve). The compressed genealogical format is typical of Snorri's editorial apparatus, condensing mythological relationships into brief genealogical notices rather than narrative episodes.
