According to myth, Fenrir is a monstrous wolf who propheciesforetell as being destined to harm the gods. The gods preparedthree fetters to restrain Fenrir. The first two: Leyding and Dromiwere great iron fetters but could not bind Fenrir. The third wasGleipnir constructed by dwarfs from six mythical ingredients andwhile it appeared like silken ribbon it fully bound the mighty wolfand the gods fastened it to a great stone slab called Gjöll andanchored it in the ground by a rock.
