Guerber
For specific citation re Draupnir: H.A. Guerber.1923. Myths of Northern Lands. New York, Cincinnati, Chicago, American Book Company. pp.24,67,68,115,190,196,218,282. (first edition was 1896. this is a goldmine of "heathen lore" and also records how sacred festivals have continued to be celebrated as well as comparing Northern Mythology w/ Greek. For linguistic enthusiasts there are many interesting ties to Greek and Latin, tangible among the spelling variations this volume offers. Found the book at No New Books in Palo Alto. don't know if it is rare or not. do lee> innow@in.gr if anyone wants to get in contact) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.74.0.249 (talk) 08:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Good spot, Valhalla. I had forgotten that Brokk was only working the bellows at the time. What threw me is the fact that in Skaldsparmal, it is Brokk who hands the treasures over to the gods. user:sjc


 * And Brokk is also the one who makes the bet with Loki... I spotted it only because yesterday I had planned to add Brokk and Eitri's entries in wikipedia. :) user:valhalla


 * Draupnir is also, btw, the name of a dwarf in Voluspa. I'll put it in as a footnote. user:sjc

Moved from article
Draupnir is also the name of one of Lulu's armours in the game Final Fantasy X. It has the abilities [Fire Eater], [Water Eater], [Lightning Eater], and [Ice Eater].

Sons of Ivaldi?
Brokk and Eiti were not Sons of Ivaldi from what I've read. They were competeing against the Sons of Ivaldi.

(i've edited the article accordingly)

The One Ring
as this is a Norse myth and deals with multiplying rings i feel this may have been the inspiration for J. R. R. Tolkien one ring. specially as he was inspired by mythology and epic poems like Beowulf.Guyver92 (talk) 12:05, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Of course it was. TLOTR is entirely Germanic. Though he denied it. Recently works he wrote were published about ancient Germanic Sagas, proving him a liar and a closet Germanophile. Which is good. Too bad he denied it in life... 73.220.34.167 (talk) 23:56, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Tsukimichi
Should something be added to the popular culture section about it being in the Tsukimichi series? The elder dwarves made it to suck up the main character's power and they keep having to make more and more due to the rings getting full on a weekly basis. So it does keep with the basic mythology (dwarves made the ring and a present and it keeps multiplying). https://tsukimichi.fandom.com/wiki/Makoto_Misumi#Equipment Guyveru01 (talk) 07:24, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
