Post 5- Setting

Svartalfheim is the world inhabited by the dwarves, who are occasionally called “black elves” in Old Norse literature. Accordingly, Svartalfheim was probably thought of as a labyrinthine, subterranean complex of mines and forges. Svartalfheim is one of the Nine Worlds, and home of the Dark Elves. Svartalfheim is in the middle region of the nine realms, on the same level as Midgard and Jotunheim. The realm has been shown to be heavily wooded and somewhat gothic, with Dark Elf towns, villages and castles dotting across the dark rolling landscape. They have been shown to live both above ground in castles and underground in large caverns.

Freya-Myth Post 2

One day Freya, walked by a cave with dwarfs inside it and wandered in Inside the cave, her eye caught the sight of the most beautiful necklace, she had ever seen. Four dwarfs “Alfrigg”, “Berling”, Dvalin”, and “Grerr” were living inside this cave. These dwarfs were putting their finishing touches on a beautiful piece of jewelry. The dwarfs were master craftsmen. Freya pleaded and begged them to give her the necklace also called the “Brisingamen”. She told the four dwarfs, she would pay any amount of gold for it. The dwarfs refused to sell it. But they did however make a suggestion, if Freya would spend one night with each of the four dwarfs and make love to them, she could have the necklace. Freya agreed and spent the next four nights with the ugly dwarfs. Loki a trickster had followed Freya to Svaralfheim, the home of the dwarfs, and saw everything that had happened. Loki ran back and told Odin, and told him what he had seen. When Odin heard the news, he was furious. He told Loki to steal the necklace from Freya and bring it to him. Loki went to Freya’s house, Sessrumnir, but he had a hard time getting in, because all doors and windows were tightly shut. But Loki turned himself into a small fly and got in the room through a hole as small as a needle’s eye. Loki saw that Freya was wearing the necklace around her neck, with the clasp underneath her so that he could not reach it. Loki turned himself into a flea and bit the goddess on her cheek. She turned in her sleep and exposed the clasp. Loki quickly turned himself back to his own shape, took the necklace, unlocked the door, and ran out. When Freya found out that she loss her necklace she ran to Odin and told her story to Odin. Cold with anger at Freya’s story of greed and lust, Odin said that he would only recover the necklace for her if she would agree to stir up a war between two mighty chieftains in Midgard “Middle Earth” He demanded that there should be killing and bloodshed. Afterward Freya should bring the slain heroes back to life. Freya agreed to the terms, for like Odin, she had a lust for battles and heroes as well. Then Odin sent for Heimdall, the watchman of the bridge Bifrost, and told him to go after Loki, and bring back Freya’s necklace. Loki turned himself into a seal and swam to a rock near Singastein, but a moment later Heimdall, too, had become a seal. The two fought a fierce battle. In the end Heimdall, with the necklace in his hand, led the dripping Loki out of the water and back to Odin.
