Eternal Sin -1 Mythology

[Fenrir]

Father of all wolves, "He who dwells in the marshes", etc. Is a gigantic wolf who dwelled in the water, typically known for powers of ice and water. He is most often depicted as a white haired wolf, whose size is even larger than his sons. Son of the G.o.d Loki and the giant Angrboda, and brother to Jormungand and the G.o.ddess of the underworld Hel. He is recounted more fully in the tale "The Binding of Fenrir", the Aesir G.o.ds raised Fenrir themselves in order to keep him under their control and prevent him from wreaking havoc throughout the Nine Worlds. He grew at an astonis.h.i.+ngly fast pace, however, and eventually the troubled G.o.ds decided to chain him up. Their first two attempts were unsuccessful; while the cunning G.o.ds convinced Fenrir that it was only a game, a test of his strength, he broke through the fetters easily. For their third attempt, the G.o.ds had the dwarves forge the strongest chain ever built, which nevertheless gave the appearance of being very light and even soft to the touch. When the G.o.ds presented Fenrir with this third fetter, he became suspicious, and he refused to be bound with it unless one of the G.o.ds would stick his or her hand in his mouth as a pledge of good faith. Only Tyr was brave enough to do this, knowing that it would mean the loss of his hand. And, sure enough, when Fenrir found himself unable to break free of his bonds, he ripped Tyr's hand from its arm. The chain was then tied to a boulder and a sword was placed in Fenrir's jaws to hold them open. As he howled wildly and ceaselessly, a foamy river called "Expectation" (Old Norse Ván) flowed from his drooling mouth.

As the river's ominous name implies, this was not the end of Fenrir. At Ragnarok, he will break free and run throughout the world with his lower jaw against the ground and his upper jaw in the sky, devouring everything in his path. He will even kill the G.o.d Odin before finally being put to death by one of Odin's avenging sons.
