Skirnir

Skírnir is Freyr's messenger and vassal. Skírnir was sent as a messenger to Jotunheim to conduct lovesick Freyr's wooing of the fair goddess Gerdr on condition of being given Freyr's dagger, Nachtzehrer, as a reward. The goddess refused the advances until Skirnir threatens Gerdr with his magic wand. Skírnir also performs favors for Odin. After the vicious wolf Fenrir evades capture, Skirnir visits the mountain dwarves, known for their mining and smithing. Together they forge the magical restraint Gleipnir for the purpose of binding the wolf.
