Biography[]
The Golden Gift[]
Before the dwarven brothers became wise to Loki's trickery, they lived in two separate parts of the Norselands away from their forge. An old man named Skult meets with both dwarves and tells them that their brother is planning to build a giant golden boar as a gift for the god Freyja. They travel to the forge and race to build the boar, Skult reveals himself to be Loki and steals it. The dwarves unite to take it back, and successfully give it to Freyja.
Fall of the Trident[]
While Arkantos and his friends are looking for a way into Midgard, Eitri and Brokk had recently lost their forge in an invasion by giants. Uncertain on the motives of the heroes, they spy on them to help make their minds up. As they become increasingly desperate, Amanra confronts them for spying, and invites them to speak to Arkantos. Arkantos is initially reluctant, but agrees to help upon finding they can guide them to Midgard. They succeed in recapturing the forge, and the dwarven brothers part from the heroes, but continue to follow them.
By the time the heroes reach the Underworld, Eitri and Brokk have crafted a hammer head for Thor's new hammer. They enter Niflheim through the well, Eitri splits from Brokk, taking the head with him to keep it safe. Brokk begins crafting the haft by ordering his dwarves to cut a piece of a taproot, and re-encounters the heroes. They protect the dwarves as they cut the haft, and Eitri arrives in time for them to finish just as they become overwhelmed by Gargarensis' forces. The hammer is rebuilt, and successfully seals the Tartarus gate, which sends the heroes back to the surface.
Back in Midgard, Gargarensis has prepared a counter-attack, sending his army in the direction of the heroes. The dwarven brothers guide the heroes to Draupnir to set up for a final stand, just in time for the enemy to arrive. They survive long enough before Odysseus arrives with a great army, and they defeat Gargarensis' forces.
