Fjalar and Galar

Fjalar and Galar were two dwarfs who had killed the Vanir Kvasir. They created the Mead of Poetry by mixing honey with Kvasir's blood. The mead was stored in two vats called Bodn and Son, and a pot called Odrerir.

Fjalar and Galar accidentally drowned the giant Gilling when their boat capsized, but they murdered Gilling's wife, whose howling grief upset the two dwarfs. The giant Suttung would have killed the two dwarfs for killing his parents. They escaped with their lives when Fjalar and Galar gave the Mead of Poetry to Suttung as compensation.
