Birth
Hisrir is the daughter of Bel and the shewolf Alulf that according to legend was the size of a mammoth and was known to devour entire villagers. The wolf guarded according to legend a mighty treasure and amongst other things did she guard a ring that was said to turn water into gold that Arkar suggested that he, Bel and Lander would steal and trade it for the spirit Algirvir's mead that according to legend was the rival of even Driknavar's.
To distract the wolf did Bel turn himself into a giant wolf and seduced Alulf while Arkar and Lander took what the three gods wanted. A few months later did the wolf turn up in Gyllenheim carrying two twins that she gave to Bel. Arkar laughed so loud that the sky itself shook and Bel gave the mischievous god a beating he would not forget.
