The Vanir are a group of Norse gods associated with fertility, wisdom, and being able to see the future.
Vanaheim is home to the Vanir.
The Vanir won. The Aesir ended up surrendering their monopoly on human worship by sharing it with the Vanir, making them equals.
The aesir and the vanir. A long time ago there was a war between the aesir and the vanir, but later they made peace. The vanir sent Njord and his children Freyr and Freyja to live with the aesir in Asgard, who in turn sent Mimir and Odin's brother Haenir to live with the vanir in Vanaheim. The vanir are associated with nature, fertility, love, the earth, weather and magic, especially seidhr. The aesir are associated with war, the sky, wisdom and rune magic.
Both true and false. The three foremost vanir: Njord, Freyr and Freyja, originally lived in Vanaheim, but moved to Asgard. Njord, Freyr and Freyja are the only vanir named in the old writings and are the only ones considered to be "gods." The rest of the vanir still live in Vanaheim.

Njörðr (Njord) I believe. His children ( Freyja and Freyr) are also very important figures atop the Vanir Pantheon.

There two separate kinds of gods in Norse Mythology, The Vanir and the Aesir. The Aesir reside in Asgard and the Vanir reside in Vanaheim.
There were two races of gods in Norse mythology: Aesir and Vanir.
In Norse mythology, the god Mimir lost his head during the Aesir-Vanir war. After the conflict, the Aesir sent Mimir's head to the Vanir as a peace offering, but the Vanir instead killed him. Odin, seeking wisdom, preserved Mimir's head with magic so he could continue to consult it for advice. Mimir's head became a symbol of knowledge and insight in the mythological tales.
