The '''Salakar''', the '''''Vessel of Souls''''' in Elven language<ref name="DoR" />, was an extremely powerful ancient artifact which was developed by the [[Dökkálfar and Ljósálfar|elves]] and sealed deep beneath [[Svartálfaheimr]] ages prior to the [[Muspels|Muspel]] invasion of the land. The Salakar's power was sought by the seemingly immortal Isu warlord [[Surtr]], who sought to gain [[Baldr]]'s "light" for himself.

After [[Odin]] discovered that Baldr had been taken by the Salakar in his ultimately futile attempt to rescue his son, he used it to ensnare Surtr during their final clash at the base of Svartálfaheimr's [[Towers|Tower]]. He originally abandoned the relic with Surtr's remains, but later baited [[Juno]] into collecting it as a possible method to save [[Aita|her lost love]]. Odin informed her that it would need emptied first, secretly trusting that her efforts would release Baldr back into the world after the [[Great Catastrophe|oncoming cataclysm]].

==Functionality==
Due to the mysterious nature of the elves and their sacred knowledge of the soul, even the wisest among the Isu like [[Ivaldi]] were incapable of understanding the Salakar's true workings. What is known is that it was able to contain the "souls" of individuals. 

However, Odin admitted that, to the Isu's knowledge, nobody gets in or out of the Salakar. <ref name="DoR" />

==Behind the scenes==
The Salakar's etymology seems to be from the {{Wiki|Hindi}} word "[[wikt:सलाहकार|सलाहकार]]" (''salāhkār''), which is borrowed from the word "صلاح کار" (''salâh-kâr'') in the {{Wiki|Persian language}} and means "advisor".
