Having narrowly escaped the malice striker, Nidhoggr, you find yourself in the sweltering mountains of SVARTALFHEIM; the industrial heart of all of Yggdrasil. Deep underground the forges flare as brilliant neon embers pierce through the smoke filled air. Here the weapons, armour and shields for the Gods are crafted, each piece imbued with old magics. It is here that you must toil in the blistering heat of the caldera, learning the ways of the Sons of Ivaldi, master blacksmiths of the realm. Only once you have paid your dues will you earn safe passage through the realm and if you're lucky, some treasures along the way.
