FAFNIR'S HORDE

"Fafnir" was the eldest, strongest and most agressive of Hreidmar's 3 sons, "Regin" was the youngest. To please his father Regin created a house filled with glittering gold and sparkling gems, this treasure was then protected by Fafnir. One day Odin, Loki and Hoenir were on their way to visit Hreidmar, Loki spotted a otter in the water and killed it thinking it would be a great meal for them all. When they arrived Loki presented Hreidmar with the otter, unfortunately this was no average otter this was Hreidmar's middle son "Otter". Hreidmar flew into a rage and ordered that to help correct their mistake and the death of his son, Loki should go and  gather a ransom, which was to stuff the otter's skin with gold and cover its outside with red gold. Loki fulfilled the task by gathering the cursed gold of Andvari as well as the ring of Andvaranaut, both of which were told to Loki as items that would bring about the death of whoever possessed them. When Loki returned with the treasures these were added to the rest of the horde.

Fafnir continued to guard the horde, but he decided he didn't want to share it with his family. So after killing his father and banishing his remaining brother the treasure was all his. After years of gloating he became ill-natured and greedy and ventured into the wilderness to keep his fortune. He turned into a dragon in order to guard his treasure. Fáfnir breathed poison into the land around him so no one would go near him and his treasure, wreaking terror in the hearts of the people.

What a horrible dragon.
