King Mirmir was the ruler of Mirmir in ancient times. He wore a long purple gown and a ceremonial green and black helmet. According to legend, Mirmir possessed a mystic fountain that fed the oceans of Midgard. Thor ventured to Mirmir with a branch from Yggdrasil, picked by Odin, and King Mirmir used the branch to stir the fountain, thereby watering a pair of trees planted by Odin and turning them into the first humans, Aske and Embla. Mirmir thus fulfilled a yet further ancient agreement he had made with Odin.[1]
