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.
