The Legend
Draupnir is the magical ring belonging to Odin, created by the dwarven brothers Brokkr and Eitri. Its name means "the dripper," referring to its unique ability to multiply itself.
Every ninth night, eight rings of identical weight and quality "drip" from Draupnir, making it a symbol of endless wealth and abundance. This property makes it one of the most valuable treasures in all the Nine Worlds.
The ring played a significant role in Norse mythology, particularly during the funeral of Baldr, when Odin laid it upon his son's funeral pyre as a sign of love and grief.
