yup yup yup. I've got a "norse" expert working on the stuff for me.
"Iscariot".
He's a personal friend of mine...
I'm working on ittt. XD
Ask him for the origin of the Ring of Nibalung. If he doesn't know it, he's not a Norse expert.
Gotta know something

Here's his censored AIM answer.
He's Iscariot on the forum.
PleasureToKill** (12:17:07 PM): Uh.
PleasureToKill** (12:17:12 PM): It's Andvari's.
PleasureToKill** (12:17:23 PM): Loki gave it to Fafnir in exchange for killing his brother.
PleasureToKill** (12:17:40 PM): A CHALLENGER APPEARS
PleasureToKill** (12:17:43 PM): AND IS VANQUISHED
lolol pwnt
Another:
PleasureToKill** (12:20:07 PM): Oh, and FYI the correct modern english spelling is "Nibelung"
PleasureToKill** (12:20:22 PM): And that's still the German one, the Norse name is "Nifelung"
PWNT XD

Wrong. Loki gave the ring as part of a randsom for the life of Odin, Thor, and himself to be spared by an angry river god.

PleasureToKill** (3:36:34 PM): Noob.
PleasureToKill** (3:36:37 PM): That was the same event.
PleasureToKill** (3:36:57 PM): And it had nothing to do with an "angry river god".
PleasureToKill** (3:38:02 PM): Loki slew Otr, and so Regin and Fafnir said they would kill him. Loki takes the treasure of Andvari and covers an otter skin with it, and the ring is the last piece. He gives it to Fafnir, and Fafnir takes it all.

Odin and Thor were involved as well. There is more than one version, and this is the first time I have heard of the involvment of Regin and Fafnir. In the version I heard, Otr was a river spirit in the form of an Otter, which the trio of gods mistakingly killed for food. Enter angry father who demands enough treasure to cover the otter pelt in exchange for their lives. Loki delights in using cursed ring to cover tip of last wisker, knowing it will bring ruin to the river god.
