If he exists, where is he at?
kungfubellydancer
lol, I don't think he exists, and I don't know where he's at, but he's supposed to arrive in the final battle of Ragnarok. Unfortunately he's one of the bad guys, along with his siblings and father Loki the Trickster.

If you want to learn more about Fenrir, do some research. I don't have a link but for starters try wikipedia.org.

Norse Mythology is quite interesting as is Greek and Roman.

fenrir still devours odins hand... Skjoell and hati still chase moon and sun... well at least in our space-time-continuum... as we didnt live through ragnarok yet... you can sometimes find em in your local zoo eating raw meat...
Marcus Wolfe
Giant wolf of PWNAGE!

^Translation of 'Fenrir' from Viking.
jaysus
its just a lil overfed puppy... a hungry overfed puppy
Marcus Wolfe
I still stand by my translation.
Lisnpuppy
I thought he was chained up somewhere. The at the final battle he eats Odin but then is eaten in turn by someone..cant remember....so he is in prison.
Necromancer G
I just found a clue to where he might be!

"When the Ćsir saw that the Wolf was fully bound, they took the chain that was fast to the fetter, and which is called Gelgja 'Thin', and passed it through a great rock—it is called Gjöll 'Scream'—and fixed the rock deep down into the earth. Then they took a great stone and drove it yet deeper into the earth—it was called Thviti—and used the stone for a fastening-pin. The Wolf gaped terribly, and thrashed about and strove to bite them; they thrust into his mouth a certain sword: the guards caught in his lower jaw, and the point in the upper; that is his gag. He howls hideously, and slaver runs out of his mouth: that is the river called Ván 'Hope'; there he lies till the Twilight of the Gods."

This is the only clue I have to go off of to find him. But I must prepare for this. I have to be able to cut Gleipnir somehow.

"Odin then had the dwarfs forge the chain Gleipnir ("deceiver" or "entangler"). It appeared to be only a silken ribbon but was made of six wondrous ingredients: the sound of a cat's footfall, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, bear's sinews (meaning nerves, sensibility), fish's breath, and bird's spittle."

How am I supposed to cut something made out of these?! blink.gif

It appears to be made out of things that dont actually exist.
Necromancer G
I have just found anothere hint to his whereabouts.

the island called Lyngvi ("Heathery") in the lake called Ámsvartnir ("Red-black") (places unknown to us), the gods challenged Fenrisulfr to break this chain also.

So far an island in a red black lake with a river coming from it.

But still if I do find him. How do I cut Gleipnir?!
jaysus
if you cant figure it youre not supposed to... maybe ask loki for help... mmh but if ragnarok wasnt yet then loki is still chained to a rock too... and since your a human hell prolly just make jokes out of you... maybe ask the dwarves then?
just be aware that odin will prolly know your intentions yet and is just taking aim to impale you with gungnir...
apart from everyone hating you if you intend to free him... its just ridiculous that odin himself is the tard who created that monster out of lokis only possibly not totally rotten child...
Necromancer G
Well Odin can come and stop me. But then my soul would be free then. So then no one could stop me.

Im going to make a deal with fenrir and cut it. thumbsup.gif
Necromancer G
I have come to conclude that 3 of the ingredients of gleipinir are real.

Bear Nerves- the actual nerve receptors
Womans Beard- Bearded Ladies from Sideshows
Bird's Spittle- The mud is collected in small pellets and moistened with saliva before being applied to the wall or existing nest. Swallow (Barn Swallows - Hirundo rustica)

The fourth is a guess

Sound of Cat's footfall- The frequency of the sound?

Now I have to find the last ingredient. Breath of a Fish.

After I could find a way to a weapon to counter gleipinr.
Necromancer G
Breath of a fish - the closest thing I could find was dissolved oxygen in water.

Now I maybe to make an acid out of these combined ingredients somehow.
Necromancer G
I only need to make the weapon and find fenrir now. I will need others to help me locate where he is by the clues I have found. Also I need someone to check out the geography of northern europe and find dried up lake beds and also find the rise in sea level over a 2000 year span.

I will find fenrir and then my plan will be nearly complete.
Kresselack
Try using google earth and search the Atlantic ocean. There are a few islands under Danish and Norwegian rule that might have the location.
Necromancer G
I need help with this project. I know the probability of actually finding fenrir is against me. But just think of the rewards if I do. The end of the old world and the beginning of the a new world...MY WORLD.

My plan is to:
1. Find Fenrir
2. Strike a deal with him
3. Let him loose
4. Gather items using fenrir to help me become a new being.
5. Let him kill all the Aesir besides the women.
6. Take over the world
7. Recreate the world in my liking.

Will anyone join my cause?
Marcus Wolfe
BWAHAHAHA!

Dude, Fenrir would gobble you up as soon as look at you! You won't live long enough to bargain with him!
Necromancer G
Fenrir had a sword wedged in his mouth so he couldnt bite.
Marcus Wolfe
Where'd you get that from? And besides, he could gobble you up without even closing his mouth.

*Pulling out a sword from its sheath and raising it in the air*
I WILL!
IN FENRIR'S NAME, ONWAAAAAAAAARD!

EDIT: I'm assuming this is roleplay and I won't need to mod anything into Oblivion. I'm not terrible at modding myself (I've done it before), but I'm not an expert modder or even an advanced modder.
Marcus Wolfe
Nah, this is just Mr. Apocalypse going nutz about a giant wolf.
Necromancer G
I will bring Ragnarok upon this world.

I will make this happen someday.
Marcus Wolfe
If you don't get eaten first.....
Necromancer G
Fenrir may tell me where some legendary items are.

Some examples:
Gram
Golden Apples
Gunginir
Marcus Wolfe
Naw, the golden apples were Greek, Fenrir is a viking wolf.
Necromancer G
True

But if something happens, you will have to deal with fenrir
Marcus Wolfe
Generally, it's a bad idea to mess with something that is supposed to have a hand in the apocalypse.....
dezdimona
not really sure...but I think I may have dated him at one time biggrin.gif

In Norse mythology, Fenrir or Fenrisulfr is a wolf, the son of Loki and the giantess Angrbođa. Fenrir is bound by the gods, but is ultimately destined to grow too large for his bonds and swallow Odin whole during the course of Ragnarök. He will be slain by Odin's son, Viđarr, who will use a shoe made throughout time using the pieces of leather waste left over from repaired shoes to hold the lower jaw while he grasped the upper up, tearing the beast apart and avenging his father.

Necromancer G
