Ivaldi's Forge
Ivaldi's Forge was a ancient Isu forge in the center of Asgard located near the center of Asgard. In charge of the city's forge, Isu dwarf Ivaldi created all the weapons and materials for any of the Æsir or Vanir of Asgard, especially their leader, Odin.
History
During the Isu Era, Odin went to visit Ivaldi, who was confronted himself by The Builder, who asked about how magic affected the Æsir and Vanir of Asgard. However, Ivaldi was dismissive of The Builder, who later saw Odin incoming. Odin and Ivaldi started their conversation, while The Builder left, and discussed about business with the blacksmith, which Ivaldi answered wittingly. Soon, Ivaldi told Odin to leave him to his work, but Odin asked for one more favor. Odin asked Ivaldi to create an unbreakable chain to bind Fenrir, but Ivaldi offered a cord instead to further tighten the beast Odin desired. [1]
However, Ivaldi needed rare ingredients from a riddle to create the cord, which Odin agreed to find and made a promise to Ivaldi as a reward. After finding a "a cat's footstep" and "the root of a mountain," Odin traveled back to Ivaldi's Forge and gave Ivaldi the ingredients. Ivaldi let Odin know that it will take time to make the cord. Soon after, Freyja came in and accused Odin of devaluing her by promising her to The Builder by marriage. Odin reassured everything was fine and that Freyja would never be pawned away as a bride. Settled, Freyja later gave Odin advice on Loki, which was to confront him on his numerous failings.[1]
Through his ventures, Odin inspected the area of Ivaldi's Forge for Ymir's Tear Stones for Ymir's Altar in Asgard. Odin found one stone in a chest hidden atop some scaffolding and one more tear stone in a room within a crevice, behind the main table.[2]
