Svartálfar
In Norse mythology, svartálfar (Old Norse "black elves", singular svartálfr) are beings who dwell in Svartálf()heimr (anglicized as Svartalfheim, "home of black-elves").〔 Both the svartálfar and Svartálfaheimr are primarily attested in the ''Prose Edda'', written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. Scholars have noted that the ''svartálfar'' appear to be synonymous with dwarfs and potentially also the dökkálfar (Old Norse "dark elves").
==Attestations==
The ''svartálfar'' are almost only attested in the ''Prose Edda'' (the word does appear in ''Ektors saga ok kappa hans'', but is presumably borrowed from the ''Prose Edda'').〔Alaric Hall, ''Elves in Anglo-Saxon England: Matters of Belief, Health, Gender and Identity'', Anglo-Saxon Studies, 8 (Woodbridge: Boydell, 2007), p. 24.〕 The ''svartálfar'' mentioned in ''Skáldskaparmál'' 35 are the Sons of Ivaldi, whom Loki engages to craft replacement hair for Sif, wife of the god Thor, after Loki mischievously sheared off her golden tresses. Ivaldi is often glossed as being a dwarf.〔, trans., ''Poetic Edda'', annotated index: "Ivaldi; a dwarf. ''Grimnismál'' 43.1"〕
''Svartálfaheimr'' ("world of black-elves") appears in the ''Prose Edda'' twice,〔 ed. ''Edda'', (index under Svartálfaheimr (p.365) ) which cross-references to pp. 51, 175.〕 in each case as the place where certain dwarfs can be found to be living: In ''Gylfaginning'' 33, the "world of black-elves" is where the dwarfs are sought by the gods to craft the fetter Gleipnir to bind the wolf Fenrir. And in ''Skáldskaparmál,'' 39, the "world of black-elves" is where Loki encounters the dwarf Andvari.
