Bifrost and the falcon cloak
EvidenceDocumentedThe text exists and is quoted from a published translation. What it describes is a separate question.
What this means
Primary records exist: an original document, a published text, an official file or a dated report. We link to them. This level says the record exists and what it says, not that every claim in it is true.
The gods built Bifrost, a burning three-colored bridge from earth to heaven, guarded by Heimdall. Freyja owns a falcon-feather cloak that lets the wearer fly between worlds, and Loki borrows it more than once.
