3 UDFA's That Could Contend for Cowboys 53-Man Roster Spots

3 UDFA’s That Could Contend for Cowboys 53-Man Roster Spots

While the players selected in the NFL Draft get all the headlines, we shouldn’t sleep on the undrafted free agents signed by teams. When the Dallas Cowboys sign an UDFA, we should pay especially close attention. They’ve developed such a track record for finding diamonds in the undrafted free agent rough that we almost expect them to uncover some gems every year. 2019 is no different.

This year’s…

Dwarves are a race of supernatural people from Germanic mythology. Dwarves are better attested than other aspects of Germanic mythology (like Elves) and appear to have maintained an evolving but unbroken thread from paganism through Christianity. Like other Germanic creatures, they enjoy a modern resurgence in popularity thanks largely to the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien.

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗗𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗳

There are almost no explicit descriptions of Dwarves in the Eddas, the 13th century Icelandic texts that are the primary source of knowledge of Old Norse Religion. However, we do know that Anglo-Saxons around the start of the 2nd Millennium used the word as a translation for the Greek Pygmies (mythical short people from a quasi-mythical southern continent) and High German tales from the same period explicitly describe them as short, bearded, and supernaturally strong. Other still common Dwarvish traits, such as living underground, being talented smiths, and greed, are traceable via the Eddas to pre-Christian traditions. Eddic Dwarves come from Nidavellir (lit. “dark/lower fields”) or Myrkheim (“dark home”), they are responsible for creating treasures, such as the thunder god Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, and Gleipnir, the chains that bind the monstrous wolf, Fenrir, and kill gods and giants alike in the name of riches (see Fjalar and Galar below). As mentioned above, the modern Dwarves of high fantasy largely come from the tropes established by J.R.R. Tolkien in his books 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘵 (1937) and the 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 trilogy (1954). These tropes are for the most part the same as the pagan and medieval traditions, though somewhat more embellished to give the Dwarves a full history as a race as opposed to a kind of naturally occurring spirit. The names of the Dwarves in the Hobbit are lifted directly from a list of Dwarf names found in the Eddas. One of the most distinctive features of Tolkien’s invention was the antagonistic relation between Dwarves and Elves; the former being gruff, practical, and low prestige, and the latter being elegant, aristocratic, and renowned. An interesting distinction between the modern Dwarf and Tolkien’s is language: most Dwarves in modern media have Scottish or otherwise Celtic accents, but Tolkien imagined his Dwarves to speak with Middle Eastern accents, as their native tongue, Khuzdul, was based on Hebrew and other Semitic languages. Tolkien actually wove many features of European Jewry into his Dwarves: a misunderstood diaspora people with a distinct secretive culture. The Celtic-ness of Dwarves is generally attributed to 𝘋𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴, as its creator, Gary Gygax, was fan of the 1953 fantasy book 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, which featured an explicitly Scottish Dwarf. This theme probably piggy backed on the Tolkien Dwarf-Elf contrast: Elves naturally were given the prestigious English Received Pronunciation so the contrary Dwarves must have the working-class and anti-establishment accents of North England and Scotland.

In the Eddas Dwarves are born from the corpse of the primordial Frost Giant, Ymir, who is killed by Odin and whose body parts are used to create the earth. Dwarves are said to be born either from Ymir’s blood or from maggots in his flesh. When fashioning the dome of the sky from Ymir’s skull, Odin appoints four Dwarves to hold it up: Northri, Suthri, Austri, and Westri, whose names are simply the four cardinal directions.

Fjalar and Galar appear on the Eddas as the creators of the Mead of Poetry. They do this by killing the god of wisdom, Kvasir, and brewing his blood. They use this magical mead to their own profit and for reasons not fully explained end up adding a giant and his wife to their body count. The giant couple’s son, Suttungr, learns of this misdead. He kidnaps Fjalar and Galar and ties them to a reef at low tide, waiting for high tide to come in and drown them. Fjalar and Galar are able to talk their way out of the predicament at the cost of the Mead of Poetry. It is later stolen from Suttungr by Odin.

The German epic hero, Siegfried (Sigurd in Scandinavia) is known both from the classical 13th century epic the 𝘕𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘥 (song of the Nibelungs) and the 19th century operatic cycle by Richard Wagner; 𝘋𝘦𝘳 𝘙𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘕𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘯 (The Ring of the Nibelung). Though versions vary, they get their name from a magical treasure kept guarded by the Nibelungs, who are sometimes humans but are also portrayed as Dwarves, ruled by king Alberich. Alberich becomes Oberon in French, from which Shakespeare got the name of the Fairy king in 𝘈 𝘔𝘪𝘥𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩��’𝘴 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮.

When the trickster god, Loki, cuts off the hair of Sif, Thor’s wife, he finds himself in the impossible situation of having to replace it, lest he face the thunder god’s wrath. Luckily for Loki, the Dwarves are capable of making almost any treasure and Loki hatches a plan not just to get Sif’s hair back, but also a fair amount of treasure and the favor of the other gods. Loki invents a competition, in which the Dwarves will compete with their crafts to impress the gods: 3 treasures each. One group Loki ensnares are known only as the Sons of Ivaldi. To these capable smiths Loki entrusts the creation of Sif’s new hair, a treasure he believes is sure to win. He also ropes in the brothers Brokkr and Eitri (also called Sindri). The brothers rightfully suspect Loki of mischief, and agree only on the terms they can have his head if they win. Loki, certain they won’t, agrees. Loki further ensures himself against decapitation by transforming into a fly and biting the brothers, but they prove quite steadfast. The next day the competition is held, with the gods Thor, Odin, and Frey as the judges. The Sons of Ivaldi present Skidbladnir, the fastest ship ever made which can be folded into ones pocket, Gungir, Odin’s spear which always hits its target, and, of course, new beautiful golden hair for Sif, which will grow like real hair. Brokkr and Eitri then present their treasures: Gullinbursti, the golden boar that will pulls Frey’s chariot, Draupnir, a golden armband that replicates itself eightfold every nine days, and Mjolnir, Thor’s fearsome hammer. Loki is horrified to find the gods are more impressed with Brokkr and Eitri’s gifts. Loki saves his head, claiming that he had not promised any of his neck, and the Dwarves could not remove one without damaging the other. Instead, Brokkr and Eitri sew Loki’s mouth shut.

These are also Dwarves from the Nibelung legends, though they are not generally of the Nibelung tribe. The tale begins with Andvari, who ends up getting caught by Loki while in the form of a fish. Andvari is forced to pay all his gold to Loki, including a magic ring, but not before cursing it all. Years later a similar blunder occurs, when Loki kills the Dwarf Ótr who had taken the form of an otter. Ótr’s father, king Hreidmar, demands recompense from Loki. Loki pays up using the cursed gold of Andvari. The curse of greed ends up driving one of Hreidmar’s other sons, Fafnir, mad. Fafnir kills his father, steals the gold, and turns into a dragon, blighting the land, to guard his treasure. The final son of Hreidmar, Regin, ends up as a kind of foster-father to the young Siegfried/Sigurd. Regin raises him to be a great warrior and forges the great sword Gram. When the time comes, Regin asks Siegfried to kill the dragon Fafnir. In the process, Siegfried tastes some of the dragon’s blood, gifting him to understand the language of the birds. The birds reveal that, tragically, Regin has long been afflicted by the cursed gold and is planning to kill Siegfried for it. Siegfried kills Regin first, ending this particular chapter.
