I believe you misunderstood. Further on in my message I acknowledged that there
were many god(desse)s and other folk in the Old Norse mythology who did
not actually live in Asgard; nevertheless, they are part of the same
pantheon, just as Hades is part of the Olympian pantheon despite not
living on Olympus.
What I meant was that i am unaware of any unrelated set of deities from
that time and place. Of course, Loki et al probably all started unrelated and
had their stories intertwined later, but from our standpoint looking
back they appear to be a coherent whole,
