Mythology around the name
 
Nidavellir is one of the nine worlds in Norse mythology. It is described as a dark place with golden halls. The king in Nidavellir is called Hreiðmar and out of greed his son was turned into a dragon - Fafnir - who guards the king's hall. Later Fafnir is killed by Sigurd and his sword "Gram". Nidavellir is home to the dwarves who forged the chain "Gleipnir" with which they tied the wolf Fenrir. The description of Nidavellir comes from "Voluspa", the first and most famous poem of the Poetic Edda (collection of old Norse poems). The poem by Völuspá tells: Stóð fyr norðan á Niðavǫllum salr ór golli Sindra ættar, annn annarr stóð á Ókólni, bjórsalr jǫtuns, ęn sá Brimir hęitir. This part of Völuspá's creation poem connects Sindri's bloodline with a Viking Sindri called into a golden hall with a giant named Brimir.
