Nidavellir (meaning "the dark fields"; pronounced "nih-DA-vel-EAR") is one of the Nine Worlds and is the home of the Dwarfs. Being all underground, there is no sunlight and is instead lit by a special glowing moss. One section of Nidavellir is Svartalfheim.

Description

Nidavellir is described as chilly and dark and the buildings are equally gloomy, though the furnishings are one-of-a kind creations. Three-story terraced clapboard houses edged the sidewalk. At the end of the block, a tavern’s grimy windows glow with neon drink signs. A terraced house is located across the street from Svartalf Mart. The house has His spare but stylish furniture: an L-shaped sofa and two space-age armchairs. Neatly arranged on the coffee table was a spread of dwarf men’s fashion and interior-design magazines. Kenning square looked like a basketball court without the baskets. A chain-link fence borders a stretch of cracked asphalt. Along one side stands a row of stone pillars carved like totem poles with dragon heads, centipedes and troll faces. Along the other side, bleachers were packed with dwarf spectators. On the court, where the free-throw lines would’ve been, two open-air blacksmith shops were ready for action. Each have a forge with bellows to stoke the fire, an assortment of anvils, a few sturdy tables and racks of tools that looked like torture equipment.
