Mythology[]
| “ | The best weapons in Norse mythology were forged by dwarves. These included the gods' weapons, such as Odin's spear Grugnir and Thor's hammer Mjollnir, as well as the 'magic' weapons of human heroes, such as Sigurd's sword Gram and the cursed sword Tyrfing of the Hervarar Saga. Possession of such a weapon made one nigh-invincible, but also drew the eyes of envious coveters who would kill for such a treasure. | ” |

| “ | Thor's hammer was named Mjollnir, which meant "smasher". It was forged by the Dwarf Brokk, who unfortunately made the haft too short, so Thor was forced to wear gloves when wielding it. Mjollnir hit anything at which Thor aimed, and would return to him after being thrown. It could shrink down to hang around Thor's neck, and perhaps as a consequence, the hammer became one of the most popular motifs in Viking jewelry. | ” |
