The myth

In Skáldskaparmál, Loki wagers his head with the dwarves Brokkr and Sindri. Sindri puts the material in the forge and tells Brokkr to work the bellows without stopping, for any pause would ruin the piece. Loki, in the shape of a fly, stings the dwarf to hinder him. From that forge come the boar Gullinbursti, the ring Draupnir and the hammer Mjölnir. The dwarves were seen as the greatest smiths of myth, makers also of Odin's spear and of the fetter Gleipnir. A bellows that breathes by itself is a MYTHENOR creation honoring that forge.

Why it has this power

A level 3 Common with ATK 800 and DEF 1000: a modest machine made to feed the fire. Fire element, under Sun and Hammer, the constellations of the forge. It is a material for the Rite of Muspell's Flames and can serve as the Machine in the fusions that create Naglfar and Thor's Chariot.

Did you know

Snorri says Sindri ordered that the bellows must not stop until he took the piece from the fire, and each piece demanded a full labor.
