Topic: Fafnir


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  FAFNIR
Fafnir was named after Fafnir the Frost Giant, who transformed himself into a dragon to guard his wealth, including the Ring of the Nibelung.
Fafnir used an ability given him by the radiant pool to create the image of an aged man and used it to lure Volstagg to the Cave of the Ancients.
Fafnir would magically project illusions affecting both sight and hearing and could take control of the minds of sentient beings whose wills were not as strong as his own.

 Fafnir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, Fafnir was a son of the dwarf king Hreidmar and brother of Regin and Otr.
After Otr was killed by Loki, Hreidmar received the cursed gold of Andvari's as repayment for the loss of his son.
Fafnir and Regin then killed their father to get the gold, but Fafnir decided he wanted it all, turning into a dragon (symbol of greed).

Fafnir momentarily comes to his senses and begs Conan to help until the madness comes over him again and he returns to his victim, screaming and calling her a demon.

Fafnir bragged to the wench of his battle prowess, including his theft of the Lotus, and while he slept, she switched his pouch for one filled with sand.

 The Ancestors of Smaug
It is open as to whether Regin and Fafnir (and their brother Otter) were giants or dwarves, though their father Andvari was definitely a dwarf.
Be that as it may, Fafnir was remarkably similar to Smaug while he was in his dragon form in the story regarding Sigurd.
As the story goes, Sigurd slays Fafnir, and as the dragon lies dying he engages in a long discussion with his slayer to discover who he is. A kind of riddle-game much like the exchange between Bilbo and Smaug ensues, and Fafnir eventually gets Sigurd’s name, curses him, then dies.

Now Sigurd and Regin ride up the heath along that same way wherein Fafnir was wont to creep when he fared to the water; and folk say that thirty fathoms was the height of that cliff along which he lay when he drank of the water below.
Fafnir said, "Well, I wot that hadst thou waxed amid thy kin, thou mightest have good skill to slay folk in thine anger; but more of a marvel is it, that thou, a bondsman taken in war, shouldst have the heart to set on me, 'for few among bondsmen have heart for the fight.'"

 Mercury Rising: In Which Fafnir Channels a Famous Opinion Columnist
The Fafnir on this blog is just a cheap imitation, probably manufactured at $1.15 an hour in Saipan in one of the fortresses of freedom that Tom DeLay helped build to defend underage Malaysian women from the evils of the minimum wage and the Voting Rights Act.
The real Fafnir is much too honorable to permit the lich-like spiritual remains of the being occupying any pundit's body, much less the one in question, to be granted more media shelf space than he gets by merely appearing in an obscure newspaper published on the fringes of the Mojave desert.
I could walk into the left-wing side of the blogosphere and grab at random five bloggers, and guaran-damn-tee you that my five random choices would ALL be much better qualified than Friedman is to discuss the issues of the day.

When he thought it was done, and the blood ran foaming out of the heart, he touched it with his finger to see whether it were fully done; he burned himself and stuck his finger in his mouth.
