Скачать или смотреть The Cursed Norse Ring That Inspired The Lord of the Rings

What if the most powerful cursed object in fantasy wasn't the One Ring? Discover the ancient Norse myth of a treasure so corrupt it turned a man into a dragon—the very legend that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien himself. The god Loki, a shape shifting otter, a cursed ring and a gold hoarding dragon - all elements of an epic story.
This is the story of Andvaranaut, the ring of the dwarves, and the devastating trail of greed, betrayal, and death it left in its wake. It all begins with a thoughtless mistake by the trickster god, Loki. While traveling with Odin and Hœnir, a single act of casual cruelty sets off a catastrophic chain of events.
To pay for their crime against the Dwarf King Hreiðmarr, the gods are tasked with an impossible ransom: to fill and cover a magical, stretching otter pelt with gold. Desperate, Loki seeks out the dwarf Andvari, robbing him of his magnificent treasure and, most importantly, his magical ring that could create endless wealth. As the ring is ripped from his hand, Andvari unleashes a terrible curse, damning anyone who should ever possess it.
This is not just a tale of cursed gold, but a family tragedy of epic proportions. Witness how King Hreiðmarr's own sons, Fafnir and Regin, are consumed by avarice. See how brother turns against brother, and how one of them, twisted by the ring's dark magic, undergoes a horrifying transformation into a fearsome, gold-hoarding dragon.
This epic from the Völsunga Saga is a foundational myth that explores the corrupting nature of power and the inescapable pull of fate. The story doesn't end with the dragon, but continues with the legendary hero Sigurd, whose own destiny becomes tragically intertwined with the cursed treasure.
