Lyngvi

Lyngvi

Lyngvi was an island in Ásgarðr that was used to isolate Loki's son Fenrir, who was prophesized to kill Odin at the end of Ragnarök.

History

In Eivor Varinsdottir's visions of Odin's time in Asgard, the Æsir lord ordered his fellow Æsir Týr to jail Fenrir after he subdued the wolf. After his journey in Jötunheimr, Havi arrived back in Asgard, only to be met by Ivaldi at the teleportation gate as he gave Havi the Piece of Eden Gleipnir, which Havi had commissioned from him in order to bind Fenrir. Using a small boat, Havi rowed toward Lyngvi and met with Týr. Havi began to lie about the rope being a beacon for every Æsir to see. Meeting Fenrir, both Æsir lords saw the grown wolf as Týr initially convinced him to wear Gleipnir and offered his arm as a sign of trust. However, the rope began to burn Fenrir, who struggled and severed Týr's arm for their betrayal.

Immediately, Havi engaged Fenrir in a fight and successfully bound him with Gleipnir. Havi soon realized that Ragnarök remained inevitable, though he tried to justify his actions to a wounded Týr by asserting that he had not broken his oath by killing Fenrir as he had once sworn to do. However, he gave consideration only to Fenrir, who vowed to kill them all. Leaving, Havi led Týr to find Freyja to heal his wound. When he was there, Havi also found Ymir's Tear Stone within a cave on the island.
