Ivaldi was a dwarf Isu, master blacksmith and human sympathizer native of the Isu realm of Svartálfaheimr, living and working in Asgard to repay a life debt to Odin. He was mythologized in Norse legend and encountered by Eivor Varinsdottir when she relived Odin's memories before the Great Catastrophe.
Biography
Early Life
Ivaldi grew up in Svartálfaheimr sometime during the Isu Era. As a member of the dwarves, he was part of a society that traded resources and weapons instead of humans. As such, Ivaldi grew a great disdain for human slavers. During his life he fathered many children, two being Iðunn and Alf.
At a later date, the dwarf was bound to repay a life debt to the leader of the Asgardian Isu Odin, leaving his work at home to his children and moving himself to Scandinavia. There, he was forced to create any Piece of Eden the Æsir wanted within his forge at the center of the Isu city. He forged several powerful artifacts throughout his life, including Odin's signature weapon, the spear Gungnir.
Forging Gleipnir
After the jötnar Isu army attempted once again to invade Asgard and failed, Ivaldi was disturbed by the Builder, a covert operative of the hostile Isu faction in disguise. Unaware of the Builder's true intentions to kill Odin nor of his patriotic affiliations of the enemy group, Ivaldi gave permission to the stranger to enter his forge. He asked the dwarf if he knew anything about counsciousness transfer experiments and how they would affect the Asgardians but, feeling that something wasn't right, Ivaldi refused to answer. Just in time, Odin approached the two Isu, drawing the Builder away. The Æsir leader asked his blacksmith for help in the creation of a device that would be capable to contain Loki's illegitimate child, Fenrir;[1] whom he feared would kill him in the wake of the Great Catastrophe, an event that the Nornir had prophesised through some calculations.[2]
In return of a promise, - Odin would free Ivaldi from his care when the work was finished - he agreed to craft the object the All-Father desired. In order to create such a machine, Ivaldi then requested Odin to look for certain resources and, after a while, he returned to the dwarf with the materials he needed. Ivaldi gathered them and started forging the tool, which would hold the young Isu until the disaster strucked the Earth. After informing his master that the creation of the object eould take some time, the blacksmith also mentioned to him that one of his cousins had been experimented on by the jötnar Isu and had his counsciousness somehow successfully transferred to another body. This intrigued Odin, but the two men were disturbed by Freyja, Odin's wife, and the dwarf refused to speak more, not wanting to be dragged into their conflict.[1]
After Odin travelled to enemy territory, in the other side of the ocean, and sacrificed his eye in order to obtain a technology capable of saving the Æsir from the catastrophe, he returned to Asgard, finding Ivaldi expectantly waiting for him near the entrance of the realm. Gleipnir had finally been created and he handed it over to the now one-eyed Isu, instructing him on how to use the device correctly. In turn, as promised, Odin gave the dwarf his thanks and agreed to let him go. Ivaldi was surprised by the decision of his master, parting ways with him as the former travelled to an island where Fenrir dwelled. Ivaldi then then left the shore of the realm, heading, after a long time, to his native land.[3]
Mythology
In Norse mythology, Ivaldi's sons were said to be a group of dwarves that made several key pieces for the gods, including Freyr's magically unfolding ship Skíðblaðnir, Odin's magically multiplying ring Draupnir, his returning spear Gungnir and Sif's golden hair.[4]
Behind the scenes
Ivaldi is a mythical figure and character appearing in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, where he is portrayed by Carl Andersson.[5]
As an Isu from Svartálfaheimr, it's unclear whether or not Ivaldi's shorter stature, which goes against traditional imagery of Isu towering over humans, is simply the way Eivor perceives him based on her own cultural expectations, a metaphor for the difference in Odin and Ivaldi's status, or is an example of an actual Isu with restricted growth.
