• The Story of Alfrigg, the Master Craftsman Aug 14, 2025

  

  Deep beneath the mountains of Midgard, in the realm of Svartalfheim where the sun never shines but the forges never cool, there lived a dwarf whose skill with hammer and anvil was legendary even among his master craftsman kin. His name was Alfrigg, and he was one of the four greatest smiths in all the nine realms.

  Alfrigg worked alongside his three brothers: Dvalin, Berling, and Grer. Together, they formed the most renowned smithing partnership in existence, capable of creating treasures so beautiful and powerful that even the gods coveted their work. But among the four, Alfrigg was acknowledged as the most meticulous and perfectionist craftsman.

• The Story of Andvari, the Wealthy Dwarf Aug 14, 2025

  

  In the deepest caverns beneath the mountains, where underground rivers run through chambers filled with gleaming treasures, there lived a dwarf whose love of gold had consumed his very soul. His name was Andvari, and he was perhaps the wealthiest being in all the nine realms, yet also the most miserable, for his riches had become both his greatest joy and his terrible curse.

  Andvari was not born greedy. In his youth, he had been a skilled craftsman like many of his dwarf kin, creating beautiful objects from precious metals and gems. But as the years passed and his hoard grew larger, something changed within him. The gold began to call to him, whispering promises of power and security that slowly poisoned his heart against all other joys.
