Narfi

Encyclopedia : N : NA : NAR : Narfi


In Norse mythology, Narfi was the father of Nótt. Also known as Narvi or Nari, he was a son of Loki by Sigyn who was killed to punish Loki for his crimes. The gods turned his brother Vali into a slavering wolf who tore his throat out. His entrails were then used to bind Loki to a stone slab for all eternity ... or at least until Ragnarök.
