in Norse mythology, is the place of habitation of the elves, presented to the god Frey by the Asas when he got his first tooth. As Frey is the god of fruitftulness, the sunbeams must be subject to him, therefore the elves of light and their habitation must belong to him. Alfheim lies adjoining to Thrudheim, the kingdom of the thunder-god, Thor.
