The chains were created by Deremhos Nemar, the greatest smith of his age, under the guidance of Áfawarsal, Goddess of the Highland Men. The rope was discovered, when Daursan approached a highland men's camp, seeking aid for the fight against the giants, but he was coming from the lowlanders, and thus he was attacked by them and bound. Daursan the half-giant was nearly defeated by the curse of the rope when he struggled to get free. But then when he was nearly was near to fainting from the pain and fatigue, he prayed for the help of his human mother Ásinnar, and was able to get free by giving up the fight.Mechanics & Inner Workings
