The world of Alfheim features fairies in a race to the top of the World Tree. As a player, you can enter the game as a fairy of your chosen species and partake in the experience.
Alfheim is an island continent that’s divided into several regions, each representing the different fairy species and having its own distinct geographic features, plus the city of Alne (a neutral ground in Alfheim) and the majestic World Tree.
