Volund

From Inheriwiki, the ever-growing Inheritance database

Volund was the name of the powerful war hammer forged by Korgan, the first dwarf king. It was wielded by Hrothgar during the Battle under Farthen Dûr and the Battle of The Burning Plains. It is unknown to whom possession of Volund reverted during the interregnum that existed between the death of Hrothgar and and the coronation of Orik. Volund passed to Orik when he became the King of the Dwarves. He might use it in battle during Book Four.

[edit] Real-world Connections

Volund is the name of a smith in Norse mythology. He was the lord of the light-elves (O.N. ljosalfar) of Alfheim - the home of the elves.

The war-hammer Volund, bears resemblance to the weapon Mjollnir, wielded by the Norse God Thor, the bane of the Giants. Mjollnir was one of the several magical objects crafted by the dwarves and gifted to the king of dwarves.
