Magni

Magni is the prodigious son of the Aesir god Thor and his lover, the jötunn Járnsaxa. Through his father he is the elder half-brother of Móði and Þrúð, and through his mother is the half-brother of Heimdallr.

According to the third poem of the Poetic Edda, Vafþrúðnismál, both Magni and Modi would survive Ragnarök, inheriting their father's legendary hammer, Mjölnir. This came to pass, with the brothers having Mjölnir melted down and used to forge new hammers tailored to their preferences

In the Skáldskaparmál (a second part to the Prose Edda), three year-old Magni is said to be the only Aesir god strong enough to lift the jötunn Hrungnir's leg off of Thor. As a reward for his strength, Hrungnir's horse Gullfaxi is gifted to Magni by Thor.

Tenets of Faith

As the strongest of Thor's sons, Magni was taught to protect those who are unable to protect themselves. Nor should any be allowed to suffer in unwarranted captivity. Every ounce of one's strength should be used to those ends.
