Removing Loki's head would entail cutting off some part of Loki's neck which was not part of the bargain. However, since the wager was for Loki's head alone, the judgment can't be collected. After finding that the works of Eitri and Brokk exceed those of the sons of Ivaldi, Odin and the rest of the Aesir find in favor of Brokk. Brokk stops the shoo away the fly and wipe the blood away as it trickles into his eyes which is why Mjollnir has a short handle.īrokk asks the Aesir for judgment against Loki.
