Alfheim

Alfheim (pronounced "ALF-hame") is one of the Nine Realms, more specifically the one inhabited by the light elves. According to Hearthstone, it isn't that different from Midgard, only brighter, and without night-time. It can only be accessed through falling.
== Description ==
Alfheim is described to be like many of the upscale neighbourhoods of Boston. Being the world of light and air, Alfheim is constantly bathed in sunlight, with the ground having a spongy texture. Magnus realizes that the sun does dip a little low in the horizon, but it doesn't really disappear. The bright light around Alfheim is said to be different from that of Folkvanger. This is because elves need constant sunlight or else they will fade away and die.
There were many mansions with large stone walls, they looked like Tudor-style mansions or postmodern versions of Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland. But there was also a village containing a country club. Hearthstone's mother, Greta, used to go there but she was killed when a delivery truck ran a red light. When Magnus first arrives in Alfheim, he compares it to Wellesley, Massachusetts.
== Trivia ==
* Alfheim, or Álfheimr in old Norse, loosely translates to "elf home" or "home of the elves."
