History

Origin

Among the earliest conflicts fought by the Asgardians was the Aesir/Vanir War with the former being the victors. After that long war, a peace was made whereby King Bor's son, Odin of the Aesir would marry Freyja of the Vanir. The marriage was supposed to culminate in a child of both people that symbolized the unity of the two Asgardian races with this being a daughter who would become Angela with the newborn child being stolen by the Angels of Heven. (Angela: Asgard's Assassin v1 #2)

Ragnarok

After the Ragnarok Cycle, the only survivor of their people was Thor Odinson who lamented the loss of his kind. However, he would learn that his fellow gods were not all dead but had been reborn in the form of humans. Thus, after bringing the City of Asgard to Earth, he decided to embark on a quest to find his comrades around the world. (Thor v3 #2)

Any breach of that law led to the criminal being imprisoned for thousands of years.
