As [[Lee Myung-jin]] set the story of the manhwa in Norse mythology, it is most logical that he would name the realm of elves as Alfheim. It seems that other publishers of the manhwa have translated the lost kingdom as Geffenia and so many RO publishers have also come to name the area Geffenia as well. As such, the official name of this kingdom is uncertain due to these many inconsistencies with its translation in international releases of both the manhwa and the online game. Some have speculated that Geffenia is but a small part of Alfheim and that Alfheim as a whole is much bigger than what is presented as Geffenia.[[File:RO_Alfheim2.jpg|thumb|Overview map of Alfheim in RO.]]

Not much is known about Geffenia, but it is assumed it was ruled by one king.

History

Geffenia2

Geffenia as depicted in Lidia's Treasure Hunter Bible.

In ancient times, when Normankind was in its infancy, the immortal elven race taught Normans the basics of language and survival. The prosperity and peace of Geffenia made the elves ignorant of normans' ambition and in time the normans allied with the dwarves to invade Geffenia. All elves who managed to survive the onslaught were driven out of Geffenia and scattered all over Midgard.

In response, the kingdom of Geffenia was sealed and cut off from the world. The elven race is now on the brink of extinction. Since then, adventurers from all over the world seek to find this mystical place.

During the Age of Gods, Geffenia was rediscovered by Lidia who was accosted by Reina for stepping foot upon its sacred grounds.

Other Appearances

In Ragnarok Online, Geffenia is accessible from the Geffen fountain, much like how it was accessible to Lidia in the manhwa.[1] Players must complete The Sign quest in order to use the fountain.
