One effort to obtain this began with nine field workers having their scythes sharpened with a whetstone which was then thrown into the air; in their efforts to jostle for space to catch it, the nine field workers cut each others' throats.

The figure who sharpened their scythes, (**) Bolverkr, then went to their Jotun master and offered his services in return for help in getting this. That Jotun, Baugi, later bored a hole into Hnitbjorg to allow Bolverkr to slither through in the form of a snake, after which in human form he had sex with Gunloo for three days. In the form of an eagle, when he returned with this to Asgard, Odin (*) regurgitated it into the Oorerir, Boon, and Son, a cauldron and two vats, while he shat out a small amount, known as the "rhymester's portion." For 10 points, name this stuff guarded by Suttung and created from the blood of Kvasir that conferred skaldic abilities on its imbibers?
