===Asgardian Relations===
Nidavellir was the home of the Dwarves, and one of their main activities was to serve as blacksmiths. As such, Nidavellir presented some of the best forges in the Nine Realms. The hammer Mjølnir was created on Nidavellir.
After Imir invaded Nidavellir and barricaded himself in the Golden Forge, he took the Dwarves hostage and made them forge an axe capable of cutting through the fabric of reality. Thor arrived and confronted Imir, but he was taken by surprise by the powers of Imir's Axe, that allowed him to open small portals and teleport himself through the room, catching Thor off-guard until he was able to summon lightning through the chimney of the forge, electrocuting Imir and liberating the Dwarves.The Avengers: The Avengers Initiative During the following conflict in which Thor commanded the Einherjar to restore peace to the Nine Realms, Nidavellir was one of the worlds restored to its former glory after the attacks.Thor: The Dark World Prelude

Eitri complied with his demands and constructed the Infinity Gauntlet. Upon acquiring the newly forged Gauntlet, not only did Thanos proceeded to massacre the entire Dwarven population, leaving only Eitri to be the sole survivor of the station and his race, he also encased Eitri's arms in molten metal, thus crippling him. The neutron star at Nidavellir's core was then sealed in its Dyson sphere, leaving the entire station and its forges to be frozen shut.
Three years later, Thor, Rocket, and Groot traveled to Nidavellir in the Benatar's space pod to forge Thor's new weapon. Upon arriving, they observed that the typically lively forges of Nidavellir were cold and barren, littered with broken parts. Eitri attacked them, before realizing it was Thor and reunited himself with him. He then explained what had happened to the other dwarves and that his hands been fused by metal.
Thor and Eitri, aided by Rocket Raccoon in the pod, reignited the star and re-lit the forge, creating Stormbreaker with a handle made from Groot's arm. Thor was then revived and used Stormbreaker to activate the Bifrost Bridge.Avengers: Infinity War
