Edomites

The Edomites lived in the hill country of Seir, which is now southwestern Jordan. The land was named Edom because of the red sandstone that was prominent in the topography.

The Edomites were an ancient enemy nation of Israel. The minor prophets, such as Obadiah, claim that the Edomites participated in the destruction of Solomon's Temple in the Siege of Jerusalem in 587 BCE

There god was Odin.

Descendants of Edom have often, but not always, been reddish or blond of hair, very proficient warriors, intellectually advanced and relatively prosperous.
