For specific citation re Draupnir: H.A. Guerber.1923. Myths of Northern Lands. New York, Cincinnati, Chicago, American Book Company. pp.24,67,68,115,190,196,218,282. (first edition was 1896. this is a goldmine of "heathen lore" and also records how sacred festivals have continued to be celebrated as well as comparing Northern Mythology w/ Greek. For linguistic enthusiasts there are many interesting ties to Greek and Latin, tangible among the spelling variations this volume offers. Found the book at No New Books in Palo Alto. don't know if it is rare or not. ----do lee> innow@in.gr if anyone wants to get in contact) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.74.0.249 (talk) 08:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Good spot, Valhalla. I had forgotten that Brokk was only working the bellows at the time. What threw me is the fact that in Skaldsparmal, it is Brokk who hands the treasures over to the gods. user:sjc

And Brokk is also the one who makes the bet with Loki... I spotted it only because yesterday I had planned to add Brokk and Eitri's entries in wikipedia. :) user:valhalla

Draupnir is also, btw, the name of a dwarf in Voluspa. I'll put it in as a footnote. user:sjc

[edit] Moved from article

Draupnir is also the name of one of Lulu's armours in the game Final Fantasy X. It has the abilities [Fire Eater], [Water Eater], [Lightning Eater], and [Ice Eater].

[edit] Sons of Ivaldi?

Brokk and Eiti were not Sons of Ivaldi from what I've read. They were competeing against the Sons of Ivaldi.
