Encyclopedia > Narvi

In Norse mythology, Narvi was the father of Nott. Also known as Narfi 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 Ragnarok.


There is a moon of Saturn named after him: Narvi.


In Middle-earth, Narvi (originally Ngarvi) made the Doors of Durin, on which Celebrimbor wrote the inscription.

Narvi unearthed some blank pieces of parchment found under a teetering pile of sketches, cursing as her fingers knocked over a small inkpot which she recovered before its contents ruined the unblemished pages.
Narvi was comfortably full, sitting off to the side of the Hall with her feet on a small stool, smoking her pipe with her eyes mostly shut when a voice above her head startled her out of drowsiness.
Narvi experienced a shock of pure terror as she grasped for her tunic, adrenaline rushing through her until she patted herself and discovered she was still fully clothed.
