What are the Norse Mythology References in Alfheim Online? In one of Yui's Trivia Corner Segments from Sword Art Offline 6, she says that  Alfheim Online is mainly based off of Norse Mythology, so there are a number of references to it in ALO.

The only reference that I know of is that the World Tree in Alfheim Online is supposed to represent Yggdrasil, with the 9 Fairy Nations around The World Tree being the 9 Realms that are connected to one another by Yggdrasil.

Thus, I am wondering what other Norse Mythology references there are in Alfheim Online.
The references are as follow. I'll divide it into its categories. Also note that I'd refer to SAO as ALO here since the story takes place in Alfheim Online and not Sword Art Online's Aincrad.

Worlds

Alfheim (Norse: Álfheimr) means the land of fairies. This is the world where the players live. Funnily, the races that live in this land are not from Norse mythology, but is actually from England, Ireland and Scotland, with the exception of Salamander. More about the races in the races section down below.

Jotunheim (Norse: Jötunheimr) means the land of giants. The creatures that live here are the giants. Tonki (Jellyfish Elephant, Kuzuha/Leafa's friend/pet(?)) is one of those giants.

Nilfheim (Norse: Niflheimr) is the land of ice and snow. It is referenced in ALO as the cause of change in Jotunheim, that is the outbreak of ice giants from Nilfheim, which is located under Jotunheim, cause the change in Jotunheim's once green lands to that of ice and snow.

Muspelheim (Norse: Muspelheimr) is land of fire. In ALO it is located under Nilfheim.

Yggdrasil (Norse: Yggdrasil) the three that connects the 9 worlds according to Norse mythology. Out of those 9 only Alfheim, Jotunheim, Nilfheim and Muspelheim mentioned in ALO. Out of those 4 only 2 (Alfheim and Jotunheim) are actually shown.

NPCs

Thor (Norse: Thor) the god of thunder, wielder of the magic hammer Mjolnir, son of Odin.

Freya (Norse: Freyja) is a goddess associated with love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, seiðr, war, and death.

Thrym (Norse: Þrymr) is king of Jotunheim. In ALO he is a king of Nilfheim who invaded Jotunheim along with his ice giants.

Weapons

Excalibur is a sword belonged to the legendary King Arthur of England. It is also one of the sword featured in many video games, mainly Final Fantasy. In Final Fantasy series it usually is one of the strongest swords. In ALO it is a sword promised by Thrym as a prize for slaughtering the original dwellers of Jotunheim (Tonki's race).

Mjolnir (Norse: Mjölnir) is a magic hammer of Thor, capable of summoning thunders.

Story

Thor missing his hammer is one of Norse legends, where Thor lost his magic hammer Mjollnir. It was said that his hammer was stolen by the king of the Jotun, Thrym. Thor, although reluctant, agreed to Loki's suggestion to dress as Freyja in his attempt to get the hammer back. Thor later killed Thrym and get his hammer back. This is referenced in ALO with Klein finding a female NPC with HP bar locked in a prison made of ice. Later during the fight between Kirito's party and Thrym, the said female NPC revealed himself to be Thor. Thor then killed Thrym much like in the legend.
