Niðavellir

The dark fields of dwarf-craft in Norse speech. Not Svartálfaheim as a forced twin, and not a mine dump alone.

Also known as Nidavellir

Norse tradition

Niðavellir appears in Norse tradition.
Völuspá in the Poetic Edda names Niðavellir among the dark fields of dwarf-craft speech. A named dwarf-field place in that poem, not Svartálfaheim as a forced twin and not a mine dump alone.
