Nóatún

Nóatún takes the trail to the sea. Grímnismál calls it the eleventh dwelling, where Njörðr, “guiltless of sin”, has made himself a home. Gylfaginning says he rules the winds, calms the sea and fire, is called on by seafarers and fishermen, and prefers to live near the sea. The name is glossed “ship-enclosure”. The entry adds that Njörðr and Skaði agreed to spend nine nights in Þrymheimr and then three at Nóatún, a home shared out between mountain and shore.
