 In skaldic poetry, "Dvalin's drink" is used as a kenning for poetry, since the mead of poetry was originally created by the dwarfs.In "Fáfnismál", during a discussion between Sigurd and Fafnir concerning the minor Norns (apart from the three great Norns), those who govern the lives and destinies of dwarfs are also known as "Dvalin's daughters".In "Hervarar saga", Dvalin is one of a pair of dwarves (including Durin) who forged the magic sword Tyrfing.
