Tyr, god of dutyTyr, god of duty Fenris was a giant wolf, offspring of

Loki and Angerboda. He grew so large that the gods

became afraid of him. Only Tyr was brave enough to feed

and take care of Fenris. The gods crafted the strongest iron

chain called Laeding and attached it to Fenris.

Fenris easily broke it. The gods then crafted a second

chain, Dromi. He allowed the gods to put the fetter

upon him, and he broke it. The dwarves made a silk bond called

Gleipnir. Fenris let the gods put it on him, if

Tyr put his hand in Fenris’ mouth. Fenris realized he couldn’t get out,

and he chomped off Tyr’s hand.
