Due to the Midgardian Invasion, Alfheim is closely watched my the Asgardians and ruled by the Vanir god Freyr.

*Alfheim is based on Álfheimr from Norse Mythology*

## Description

Alfheim is a medium sized, Earth-like planet of the Realm of Light. The sky is a rich, gold, and bluish-purple and the land is beautifully overgrown with massive trees and large mountainous terrains with numerous lakes and ponds with oversized flowers and mushrooms. A magical haze fills the atmosphere due to the vast amounts of magic corrupting the planet. Despite the mystical landscape, semi-modern houses and buildings litter the realm. Alfheim has two suns and no moons.

## History

### Formation

#### Light Corruption

After the Purification of the Cosmos and the subsequent creation of Ljosalfheim, many planets started to form in the magic-infused dimension. The largest of these planets was the realm of the Elves, Alfheim. Alfheim formed next to a binary star system, the weak heat from the suns quickly cooled the planet's surface, eventually forming numerous large rocky landmasses. The magic in the environment formed large mountainous regions as well as many rivers, lakes, and swamps.

#### Joining the Nine Realms

Yggdrasill eventually found the planet of Alfheim and bonded to it. It became one of the Nine Realms, soon to be known as the realm of the Light Elves.

### Developing Life

#### Magical Anomalies

The magically corrupted lands of Alfheim forged and evolve a plethora of magic-infused, new life, including the Alfheimian Dragon and countless sprite species.

#### Dark Elf Invasion

In search of new planets to conquer and new sources of food, the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim traveled to Alfheim in the opposing realm using the Bifröst and settled there. However, the World Three, Yggdrasill, sensed the dangerous invaders and manipulated its Bifröst Bridges so that they can only be traversed in one direction, trapping all who left Svartalfheim in Alfheim. Once the Dark Elves figure out what is happening, the stopped their invasion. The Dark Elves trapped in Alfheim quickly spread across the planet.

#### Light Elf Evolution

The pure light energy and magic of Ljosalfheim corrupted the physiology of the Dark Elves, weakening and poisoning them. Eventually the Dark Elves devolved into the Light Elves, who became Alfheim's dominant species. Alfheim's diverse landscapes caused many alternate species inhabiting different areas like the Leprechauns to the south, Undines in Alfheim's oceans, and the Swamp Elves in Alfheim's wetlands.

### Invasion of Midgard

#### Leaving Alfheim

Some time later, the Elves wanted to explore the other realms using the Bifröst. Groups of Elves left Alfheim and traveled to Midgard where they met the Humans and started causing mischief with them. Others traveled to Earth in search of the spirit of the recently deceased Baldr.

#### Order in the Nine Realms

Eventually, the Asgardians found out about the invaders and forced the Fae back to their realm. However, the Elves still traverse between Alfheim and Earth as members of the Magical Community. Due to their meddling with the lives of the Terrans, the Æsir and Vanir placed Alfheim under their rule with Vanir god Freyr as its ruler. The capital city of Innangard was founded, where Freyr ruled from, and the first Alfheimian Bifröst gate was constructed.
