"A strange find... a spear like Odin's. Gungnir... is it you?"
―Eivor Varinsdottir as she retrieved Gungnir, 877 CE.[src]-[m]

Gungnir was a Spear of Eden created by the dwarven blacksmiths Brokkr and Sindri. From its creation until the Great Catastrophe, this Piece of Eden was wielded by Odin himself before it was lost within the Goinnhellir cavern near the entrance of Yggdrasil's chamber in the aftermath of Ragnarök. Millennia later, it was retrieved by Odin's reborn form, Eivor Varinsdottir.

History

Isu Era

During the Isu Era, Loki commissioned Brokkr and Sindri to create Gungnir during his travels in Svartálfaheimr[1] to acquire several Pieces of Eden for the Æsir as payment for cutting Sif's hair.[5] Loki then presented the spear to his blood brother Odin,[6] who would come to wield it regularly in battle, becoming his signature weapon.[2]

Odin carried Gungnir with him to meet his end during the battle fought between the Æsir and the allied forces of the jötnar,[7] Muspels,[8] and Hel's army[9] at the onset of the Great Catastrophe, during which he was presumably killed by Loki's son, Fenrir.[7]

Viking Age

After the Great Catastrophe, Gungnir was trapped within Goinnhellir. It lay there until 877 when Eivor Varinsdottir, Odin's human form, retrieved it after detouring away from her brother Sigurd on their way to the Yggdrasil supercomputer. As she picked up the spear, Eivor remarked that it looked strangely familiar,[4] as she had already seen it in her visions, wielded by a depiction of Odin according to her cultural upbringing.[10]

Description
A legendary spear once wielded by Odin himself. It is said that this fine weapon never missed its mark.

Behind the scenes

Gungnir's model when Eivor finds it stuck in rubble seems different from the weapon's regular model, with the spear's appearance changing when she pulls it from the door and stores it.
