Regarding the Artifacts of the Gods, the Dwarves-Masters, and Dark Excess: You’ve correctly identified the artifacts and their essence, but also consider that these magnificent gifts were ultimately returned to the gods, as they originally belonged to them, albeit in a different form. The spear Gungnir, symbolizing absolute precision; the ship; the boar; the sword; and, of course, the hammer, which was altered through Loki's intervention—these all returned to their divine origins. Finally, the ring that sparked much of your discussion. You were right to deduce that the ring was necessary to replicate and reproduce the elements of the proto-foundation of Good, elements that could not be replicated in the realm of Helheimr. The ring’s design is based on the principle of time; it does not operate continuously but periodically, meaning it is linked to time—something that does not exist in Helheimr. Therefore, the ring could not function there and had to be returned to Odin. This explains the fearsome reputation of the ring, which was later immortalized in the Song of the Nibelungs and the Saga of the Volsungs, where it is said to bring misfortune. Why misfortune? Because it was created in a world of evil, embodying the very evil that people once rejected, recognizing it for what it was. https://youtu.be/sB_zBZWq77Y?si=wBvHzR_jATa4Xn9s
