Dvalinn

Dvalin (also spelled Dvalinn) is a figure in Norse mythology, known primarily as one of the dwarves mentioned in the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, both of which were compiled by the medieval Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson. The name Dvalin translates to דוולין in Hebrew, Dvalinn in Old Norse, and Dvalin in modern Icelandic. In the Poetic Edda, Dvalin is listed among the dwarves who were created from the flesh and blood of the primordial being Ymir by the gods Odin, Vili, and Ve. He is also mentioned in the poem Völuspá, where he is described as a dwarf who dwells in the mountains and is associated with the creation of the dwarves. Additionally, Dvalin is referenced in the Prose Edda as one of the dwarves who supports the sky. In some interpretations, Dvalin is also associated with the runic alphabet and the concept of transformation, reflecting the broader themes of craftsmanship and metamorphosis found in Norse mythology.
