The Norse content makes more sense to do the same. The Norse traditions are animistic nature beings. The jǫtnar are literally features of the landscape and waterscape, the æsir are literally the features of the skyscape. They overlap the Material Plane. It might work if the Alfar relate to Positive Energy and the Dvergar to Negative Void, with regard to successful fates versus unsuccessful fates. Both the Feywild and the Shadowfell overlap the Material world. They are spirits moving thru the Material Plane. The jǫtnar are more Elemental in mood, projecting out from whatever nature feature they are to move thru the Ethereal Plane while observing the Material Plane. Norse Hel is roughly the same thing as the Shadowfell, except there are places that are lifespringing paradises and perhaps more Fey. Hel is the underground of the Shadowfell, while Ásaheim is the sky of the Feywild. One does well enough to treat Óðinn and Þórr as Archfey. But this Feywild isnt "somewhere else". They wander the Material Plane like ghosts do.</p></blockquote><p></p>
