Eight ingots of eitr-forged iron. That was to create the foundation of the gauntlets, according to Dasha. Hephaestus meticulously placed the eitr-forged iron into a series of interlocking plates. Four ingots for each gauntlet.
The Great Forge, a marvel of divine craftsmanship. At the heart of the forge stands the Anvil of Stars, an immense slab of eitr-forged iron infused with celestial energies. It radiates a faint luminescence, with ancient runes etched along its surface, shimmering like constellations in the night sky.
That was where it began. Together, Hephaestus and Tvashtr began to slam down at it with their tools: Hephaestus' hammer and Tvashtr's axe.
There was no melting eitr-forged iron. There was no forging or melting, the latter being impossible with metals of this magnitude.
