== The making of Gleipnir == In Norse mythology, Gleipnir is the third iron rope created by the Norse gods to bind the demon wolf Fenrir. The Gods had attempted to bind Fenrir twice before with huge chains of metal, the iron chains of Leyding and Dromi, which Fenrir had torn apart. Therefore, they commissioned the dwarves to forge a chain that was impossible to break. After the gods failed to bind the demon wolf twice in a row, they asked Freyr's messenger Skírnir to find the strongest ropes made by the dwarves. The materials of the chains are: The sound of a cat's steps The beard of women The roots of mountains The sinews of the bear The breath of the fish The spittle of the birds
