Packet 2: Tossup 9

An event concerning this figure is foreshadowed when the floors of Hel are covered in gold. (-5[1])This figure lived in a hall where “may nothing unclean be.” Another god (15[1])enters Hel while disguised as Vegtam (“VEGG-tahm”) in a poem titled for this (15[2])resident of (15[1])Breidablik’s (15[1])(“BRY-dah-blicks”) “dreams.” (15[1]-5[1])This god fathered the god of (*) justice, Forseti. (-5[1])Odin (10[1])wins a battle of wits by asking what (10[1])he spoke (10[1])into this god’s (10[3])ear. (10[7])This god’s ship (-5[1])Hringhorni (10[1]-5[1])was pushed (-5[1])to sea (-5[1])by (-5[1])Hyrrokkin. The ring (10[1])Draupnir (10[1])is burned on the funeral pyre of this (10[1])god, (10[2])who can’t be revived (10[3])when the giantess (10[1])Thökk (10[2])refuses to (10[2])cry. (10[1])For 10 points, name this (10[1])Norse god of light who is killed (10[1])when Loki (10[1])guides Hodr to shoot an arrow of mistletoe. (10[4])■END■ (10[3]0[1])
