Eikthyrner is a cosmic hart attested in the Prose Edda. He stands over Valhal biting branches of the same tree from which drops flow from his horns into Hvergelmer, sourcing many rivers: "Sid, Vid, Sekin, Ekin, Svol, Gunthro, Fjorm, Fimbulthul, Gipul, Gopul, Gomul and Geirvimul, all of which fall about the abodes of the asas" (Prose Edda, Life In Valhal).
