Thrym by NatasaIlincic on DeviantArt

Þrymr (Thrymr, Thrym; "uproar") was king of the jotnar. In one legend, he stole Mjollnir, Thor's hammer, to extort the gods into giving him Freyja as his wife. His kingdom was called Jötunheimr, but according to Hversu Noregr byggdist, it was the Swedish province Värmland, then a part of Norway. Þrymr was foiled in his scheme by the gracefulness of Heimdall, the cunning of Loki, and the sheer violence of Thor.

Skadi was the Norse goddess of the mountains, often depicted riding on skis. Her father was the Jotun (giant) Thyazi, who was slain by Thor for having abducted the goddess of youth, Idun, keeper of the Golden Apples of Youth which kept the gods young. As recompense for her father’s slaying, Skadi was permitted to select one of the gods as a husband and, though thinking she was selecting Baldur, wound up selecting Njord, the god of ships, navies and sea-trade.

Odin, disguised, advises Sigurd to dig trenches also to drain the blood, and to bathe in it after killing the dragon; this confers invulnerability, which he does. Regin then asked Sigurd to give him Fafnir's heart for himself. Sigurd drinks some of Fafnir's blood and gains the ability to understand the language of birds. Birds advise him to kill Regin, since Regin is plotting Sigurd's death. Sigurd beheads Regin, roasts Fafnir's heart and consumes part of it. This gives him the gift of "wisdom"
