Alternate names for this god, who once fought a rival in the form of a seal, include Hallinskidi, meaning "bent stick" or "ram," and Vindhler, or "wind shelter". One kenning for the word "sword" is the "head of [this god]", which is odd, because his own sword was named "head", or Hofund. He created the serfs, peasants, and warriors after spending a night in the bed of Afi and Amma in the form of the god Rig and fathering Thrall, Karl, and Jarl. With his horse Gulltoppr, he lives in the hall Himinbjorg.  He was the son of the nine billow maidens, and he and Loki will slay each other at Ragnarok, which he will announce by blowing the Gjallarhorn. For 10 points, name this Norse god with incredibly keen senses, the keeper of the rainbow bridge Bifrost.
