Sleipnir was an eight-legged horse in Norse mythology.

Mythology

According to myth, Sleipnir was the son of Loki[1] and The Builder's horse Svaðilfari, Slepnir later became Odin's famed warhorse who could quickly carry the All-Father across the Nine Realms.[2]

Legacy

In the 9th century during the Viking Age in England, the Viking Faravid invoked Sleipnir's name when horse-racing Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan on the road to Jorvik.[3]

Millennia later in 2020, the Assassin Layla Hassan relived Eivor's genetic memories and modified her Animus to included a shield based on Sleipnir in the shieldmaiden's arsenal.[4]

Behind the scenes

Although Sleipnir is the son of Loki in myth, it is currently unknown whether Sleipnir was an Isu, for unlike Loki's other children Hel, Fenrir, and Jörmungandr, he was not mentioned during the mythical sections of the game.
