Gungnir
Gungnir was a Spear of Eden created by the Isu blacksmiths Brokkr and Sindri, sons of the craftsman Ivaldi.
From its creation until the Great Catastrophe, this Piece of Eden was wielded by Odin himself before it was lost within Goinnhellir mountain near to the entrance of the Yggdrasil Chamber in the aftermath of Ragnarök. Millennia later, it was retrieved by Odin's incarnation, Eivor Varinsdottir.

History
Isu Era
Sometime during the Isu Era, the Isu Loki commissioned the creation of Gungnir to Ivaldi's two blacksmith sons Brokkr and Sindri during his travels in Svartálfaheimr[1] to acquire several Pieces of Eden for the Æsir as payment for cutting Sif's hair.[4] Loki then presented the spear to his blood brother Odin,[5] 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,[6] Muspels[7] and Hel's army[8] at the onset of the Great Catastrophe, during which he was presumably killed by Loki's son, Fenrir.[6]
9th century
After the Great Catastrophe, Gungnir was trapped within Goinnhellir. It lay there until 877 when Eivor Varinsdottir, Odin's incarnation, retrieved it after detouring away from her brother Sigurd on their way to the Yggdrasil supercomputer, finding it strangely familiar[3] as she had already seen it in visions of her own, wielded by a depiction of Odin according to her cultural upbringing.[9]

Behind the scenes
Gungnir's model when it is found stuck in rubble by Eivor Varinsdottir appears to be different from the weapon's regular model, the spear's appearence changing when she pulls it from the door and stores it.
