Light Elves

The Light Elves are a race of Elves native to the Realm of Alfheim.

History
During Odin's reign, his daughter Hela led the Asgardian forces in a bloody conquest, bringing the Nine Realms under Asgardian rule. The Light Elves' home of Alfheim was one of the worlds to come under Asgardian rule.

After the destruction of the Bifrost, the Nine Realms, including Alfheim and the Light Elves, were left vulnerable to attack without Asgardian protection.

Trivia

 * The Light Elves speak their own language, which may be related to the Dark Elf language Shiväisith or other Elven tongues.
