Question

Description acceptable. The river Ván was created from this event, in which the boulder Gjoll (“gyall”) and the stone Thviti (“thuh-vi-tee”) was used. (20[1])Initial attempts at this event saw the use of objects named Leydi and Dromi. In the Gylfaginning, High explains to Gangleri that this event took place because the gods did not want to soil a holy place with blood. An object created by the dwarves for this event was made from the (*) “spittle of a bird” and “the roots of a mountain.” The necessity of this event became apparent upon witnessing the rapid growth of a son of Loki. Gleipnir was used to complete this event that caused Tyr to lose his right arm after he put his hand in an animal’s mouth. For 10 points, name this event in Norse myth in which a massive wolf was restrained. ■END■

ANSWER: binding of Fenrir [accept restraining or chaining or other synonyms in place of binding; accept Fenris wolf in place of Fenrir; prompt on incomplete answers that do not mention Fenrir; prompt on answers referring to Tyr losing his arm or Fenrir biting Tyr or Tyr being bitten by asking “what action led to that?”]
