He is known as The Bard of Drømmeverden. There he plays music and recites poems the rest of The Pillars of All pantheon.
In tales he is known for teasing his twin brother. Both Yta and Erdum are quite young beings compared to for example Afnir and Ostar, and this can be seen in their childish behavior from time to time.

Erdum and his twin brother Yta are believed to be the only sources of arcane power. They share the secrets of magical powers to those they see fit. Their choices on who to pick for this gift may sometimes seem strange, but their devoted followers, such as The Ravens and The Skáldi put their trust in these decisions.
