Sindri (mythology)
In Norse mythology, Sindri (from the Old Norse ''sindr'': "spark") is the name of both a character (probably a dwarf) and a hall that will serve as a dwelling place for the souls of the virtuous after Ragnarök.
==A dwarf?==
''Völuspá'' (37) mentions "a hall of gold, of the lineage of Sindri"〔Larrington 1999.〕 located northward, in Niðavellir. There are several reasons to think that Sindri is probably a dwarf:〔Lindow 2002.〕 his name is related with forging and the hall is made of gold (dwarves are said to be skillful smiths), the location of the hall is Niðavellir, which possibly means "dark fields" (dwarves live away from the sunlight).
Moreover Sindri is a dwarf in one of the manuscripts of the ''Prose Edda''. In the Skáldskaparmál (''Codex Wormianus'' version), Snorri Sturluson tells how the dwarves Brokkr and Eitri fashioned some of the magical objects used by the gods (the boar of Freyr Gullinbursti, the golden ring of Odin Draupnir and the hammer of Thor Mjöllnir). The names of the dwarves are not given in the three other main manuscripts but in the ''Codex Regius'', someone added more recently the names of Brokkr and Sindri.〔Faulkes 1998:141.〕
Sindri is also a dwarf in ''Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar''. He helps Þorstein to defeat a powerful enemy (22-23) and to escape when he is taken prisoner (25).
