The red-haired Vanir often battled against the blond Aesir. The Vanir will overthrow the evil aristocracy of Stygia and found Pharaonic Egypt. They are red-haired because ancient Egyptian legends say that Egypt was founded by "red-haired" conquerors from outside. Vanaheim having a coast-line, unlike landlocked Asgard, Vikings in the Hyborian world are probably Vanir. There is no reason for the view of the Vanir as the "bad" Nordics, as opposed to the "good" Aesir.
