 The word Alvis originates from the ancient Norse mythology, where an old and wise dwarf named Alvíss („All-wise”, „All-Knowing”) could answer every single question the god of thunder, Thor asked him. Alvis was promised Thor's daughter - Thrud (in return for the weapons he forged for the gods). When Alvis came to Thor's hall, he challenged the dwarf to a test of knowledge. Alvis had to know the names for different things in the language of the Elfs, Dwarfs, Gods, etc. Thor prolonged the test until sunrise, when the rays of the sun fell upon Alvis, he immediately turned to stone.  The word Alvis originates from the ancient Norse mythology, where an old and wise dwarf named Alvíss („All-wise”, „All-Knowing”) could answer every single question the god of thunder, Thor asked him.

 +Alvis - w mitologii nordyckiej wszechwiedzący karzeł, któremu przyrzeczono rękę Thrud, córki Thora w zamian za wykonanie wspaniałej zbroi. Thor musiał się na to zgodzić - bogowie złożyli przyrzeczenie - ale postawił warunek. Całą noc zadawał mu pytania o nazwy rzeczy z wszystkich dziewięciu krain, a krasnolud nie pomylił się ani razu. Gdy nadszedł świt, karzeł zamienił się w kamień.
