It was forged by the dwarves, the greatest master smiths of the Norse world. The spear was considered perfectly balanced and never missed its target, making Gungnir a symbol of power, destiny, and divine authority.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccording to ancient traditions, Odin carried Gungnir in wars, when making vows, and during important decisions. The Allfather often began a battle by throwing his spear over the battlefield, thereby consecrating the fight to the gods.
