A. Sutherland - Ancient Pages.com - Gods and other mythical creatures often had the help of magical and powerful objects.
In myths and legends, these objects are often forged by dwarfs who are highly skilled craftsmen and can also provide magical functions to their works.
One such famous object is Andvaranaut, a magical ring that worked like a magnet to attract gold. The dwarf Andvari owned this ring, but it was stolen by the trickster god Loki. It forced Andvari to put a curse upon his golden treasure, including Andvaranaut. His curse meant the owner's accident and terrible death.
Another unique magical ring was Draupnir (Draupner – 'the dripper') in Norse mythology. It belonged to the god Odin and was also forged by dwarfs. Draupnir could multiply itself, meaning every ninth night, eight new rings 'drip' from Draupnir, each of the same size and weight as the original.
