Sword Art Online Setting (Alfheim World)

Elfheim Map

Alfheim Online

The setting for the second arc of the story. It is a large world, divided into separate 'homelands' of each of its fairy races. All players have the ability to fly and have wings on their avatars. In the center is a very large tree called Yggdrasil, and the goal of the game is to reach the top. It implements a skill based system with players increasing their stats by developing both their combat and non-combat skills, in a fashion similar to the latest installments of the Elder Scrolls game series. Aincrad, the castle of the first game, is later accessible to ALO players as well.
