Svartalfheim

Svartalfheim, also known as Nidavellir, is a mythological realm from Norse mythology, inhabited by dwarves—skilled craftsmen and miners. It is described as a subterranean or dark, underground world with extensive caves and tunnels, where dwarves forge powerful weapons, jewelry, and artifacts. Unlike the more prominent heavens or earth realms, Svartalfheim emphasizes craftsmanship and industry. In modern interpretations, it appears in popular culture such as Marvel comics and films, often highlighting its hidden, mystical, and resource-rich nature.
