Question

After throwing one of these objects named Sviagriss on the ground, King Hrolfr declares Eadgil no better than a pig for bending over to pick it up. One of these objects wrapped in wolf’s hair warns a Burgundian king about the treachery of Atli the Hun. A cursed one of these objects is found alongside the Helm of Terror and Hrotti in a treasure hoard. Loki completes a wergild (15[1])that he owes to Hreidmar by placing one of these objects upon an exposed whisker of an (*) otter’s pelt. That one of these objects (10[1])named Andvaranaut (10[2])turns one owner into a creature whose blood grants the ability to understand the language of birds. Odin owns one of these objects that creates eight copies of itself each night, named Draupnir. For 10 points, name these objects, one of which turns Fafnir into a dragon and titles an operatic cycle (-5[1])by Richard Wagner. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: rings [accept Andvaranaut until read; accept Draupnir until read; accept gold rings] (The cursed ring is Andvaranaut.)
