==Modern depictions== Ask and Embla have been the subject of a number of references and artistic depictions. A sculpture depicting the two, created by Stig Blomberg in 1948, stands in [[Sölvesborg]] in southern Sweden. Ask and Embla are depicted on two of the sixteen wooden panels by [[Dagfin Werenskiold]] on [[Oslo City Hall]].<ref name=OSLOKOMMUNE>{{cite web|url=http://www.oslo.kommune.no/losartikler/article23199-7726.html?articleID=23199&categoryID=7726&tip=1 |title=Yggdrasilfrisen |author=Municipality of Oslo |date=2001-06-26 |access-date=2008-09-08 |language=no |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090125125123/http://www.oslo.kommune.no/losartikler/article23199-7726.html?articleID=23199&categoryID=7726&tip=1 |archive-date=2009-01-25 }}</ref> ''Ask to Embla'' is the title of a poem, parts of which are quoted, by R. H. Ash, one of the protagonists in [[A. S. Byatt]]'s novel [[Possession (Byatt novel)|Possession: A Romance]], which won the Booker prize in 1990. In the video game ''[[Fire Emblem Heroes]]'', the two main warring kingdoms are Askr and Embla, which is where the Summoner, the player, finds themselves in, as the kingdom has been at war with the Emblian Empire when the game starts. It is later revealed both kingdoms are named after a pair of Ancient Dragons; with Askr being male and Embla female. In the videogame [[Valheim]], the developers named an armor set after Embla, as stated in their [https://valheim.com/news/development-blog-well-equipped/ development blog entry] on November 21, 2023: "we have named this set after one of the two first humans in Norse mythology: Embla".
