NORDRI, SUDRI, AUSTRI AND VESTRI
In Norse mythology, Norðri, Suðri, Austri, and Vestri (North, South, East, and West) were four dwarves mentioned in Gylfaginning in the Prose Edda. Each of these dwarves held one of the four compass directions. Together, they held up the vault of heaven, created from the skull of the primeval jotun Ymir. They probably also represented the four winds, thus corresponding to the four deer of the cosmic tree Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór, which grazed under the branches of Yggdrasil. The myth is comparable to that of the four giants who personified the four winds in Greek mythology
