When I first received this quest the mission wasn't present at the Eye of Odyn, after my currently active missions were completed this mission showed up and I was able to proceed with the quest line.

Description
We need the Gjallarhorn to compel the armies of Odyn's children to join our cause. If the great worm swallowed it, we shall dig through the very earth until we find it in its entrails!

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Svergan's Promise
I thank you for doing this for me. I swore an oath to protect the Gjallarhorn with my life, and so I did. You must tell Hymdall that his Gjallarhorn was devoured by the great worm, Jorhuttam! It devoured an entire army of my men who were swallowed whole trying to fend off the beast.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To the Summit!
Your armies have tracked the beast to the highest peak in Highmountain. It has nowhere left to run, but it is protected by foul drogbar. You must go there yourself and slay Jorhuttam!
