Sons of Ivaldi
From Free net encyclopedia
Dwarves. The four sons of Ivaldi were master craftsmen.
On Lokis advise, the sons of Ivaldi ("bowman"), created three gifts for the Aesir. They created the magic gold wig to replace the beautiful hair of Sif (wife of Thor). They also made the collapsible boat for Freyr, called Skidbladnir. Whenever the god was not using the boat, he can shrink the vessel to a size where he can placed Skidbladnir in his pocket. The sons of Ivaldi also made the invincible spear Gungnir for Odin.
