In RuneScape, King Alvis's statue is likely a reference to this story.Īlthough the exact length of King Alvis's rule is unknown, it is known that he ruled the city roughly 500 years ago, during the latter part of the Fourth Age. In Norse mythology, dwarves could not be exposed to sunlight, so when the sun's rays hit Alvíss, he was turned to stone. Thor tricked Alvíss into remaining outside until the sun rose.
However, Thor did not want this, and so told Alvíss that he must pass a series of tests to prove his wisdom because he was so short. Alvíss was a dwarf that was to marry Þrúðr, the daughter of Thor. The character of King Alvis is probably based on Alvíss from real-world Norse mythology. His legacy is honoured by a statue on the River Kelda, which is relevant in The Giant Dwarf quest. He passed away roughly 500 years ago, but remains amongst the dwarves' most significant historical figures. King Alvis was a king of Keldagrim, the capital of the Dwarven Realm.
