Andvari

The dwarf Andvari was the son of Oin.

He was doomed to dwell in waters (by a Norn).

He had a ring named Andvarinaut, which, when Loki stole it, was cursed by Andvari.
Andvarinaut produced, like Draupnir, gold, but brought pain and misfortune to all who hold it.
This ring caused the death of many great heroes.
