Mythology[]
| “ | The Gjallarhorn - 'horn of alarm' - was carried by Heimdall, the watchman who sat at the edge of Asgard and reported the first signs of danger nearing the gods' realm. It was said that when Ragnarok approached, Heimdall would sound a blast from Gjallarhorn that could be heard throughout the nine worlds. | ” |

| “ | The Elhrimnir Kettle was used by the cook Andhrimnit ("Sooty face") to cook the boar, Saehrimnir, which was used to feed the hungry Einherjar in Valhalla every night. Odin himself abstained from eating. "For meat, they all feast on the boar Saehrimnir for, although the boar is boiled every morning, he becomes whole again every night." -- Gylfaginning 39' |

Trivia[]
- In the pre-Retold name, the first word of this technology should be Eldhrimnir, from the Old Norse words eld ('fire') and hrimnir ('sooty').
