Once upon a time in the ancient Nordic realm, the great gods Thor and Loki found themselves traveling far from Asgard in Thor’s goat-drawn chariot, and sought shelter in a farmer's home overnight. Thor offered his goats for supper as a show of gratitude, with the intention of resurrecting them afterwards, instructing the farmer and his family to place the bones on the hides to achieve this. However, the farmer's son disobeyed Thor's instructions, leading to one of the goats having a lame hind leg. Instead of killing the family as punishment, Thor took their children, Thjalfi and Roskva, as his servants. As they reached their destination, the travelers entered the castle of Utgarda-Loki, where they were immediately taunted for their small size and faced a series of challenges. Eager to prove their prowess, Loki boasted that he could out-eat anyone in the castle, and was proven wrong. Thjalfi, known for his incredible speed, offered to race anyone in the castle, only to be bested. Thor, known for his immense strength and love of drink, then challenged the inhabitants of the castle to a drinking contest, and was humiliated. Utgarda-Loki revealed that the contests had been illusions, and the gods left the castle wiser and more cautious for having encountered the cunning Utgarda-Loki. And the tale of their encounter would be told and retold, a cautionary reminder of the folly of underestimating the power of illusion and trickery.
