The Curse of the Ring is a work by Edouard Brasey that tells three intertwined stories. First, Odin fathers the line of the kings of Frankenland, but Frigg curses the queen with sterility. Odin calls on Brunhilde to give the queen an apple of eternal youth, forcing her to abandon her status as a goddess and warrior virgin. Second, a dragon guards the treasure and ring of the Nibelungs, and Siegfried, initiated into shamanic magic, confronts him. Finally, Siegfried absorbs a potion of oblivion, violating the oath of love that binds him to Brunhilde, creating a conflict.
