	Unlike traditional imagery in the [[Assassin's Creed (series)\|''Assassin's Creed'' series]] of Isu towering over [[human]]s, the people of Svartálfaheimr take the form of folkloric dwarves.

	Even if they are members of the Isu, it is also unclear if their shorter stature is simply the way Eivor perceived them based on her own cultural expectations; as a metaphor for status differences between the dwarves and their Æsir, Muspel, or ''jötnar'' counterparts; or are an example of Isu with {{Wiki\|Dwarfism\|restricted growth}}.
