Árheimar

The saga states that it was located at Danparstaðir ("Dnieper stead"), which is identified with the ruins of Kamjans'ke Horodyšče [uk], near Kamianka-Dniprovska in southern Ukraine (Pritsak 1993).

The name first appears in the Hervarar saga when Angantyr has avenged his father Heidrek and retaken the Dwarf-cursed sword Tyrfing: And when it was close on midnight, Angantyr went up to them and pulled them down the tent on top of the slaves and slew all nine of them, and carried off the sword Tyrfing as a sign that he had avenged his father.

He came to his court in Arheimar Where the Gothic people dwell, Demanding his share of the heritage left By the King when he journeyed to Hell."

The next place is when Angantyr's brave sister Hervor fights the Huns, although her small army is greatly outnumbered by the horde and she knows she cannot win: "Then Ormar rode back to the fortress, and found Hervör and all her host armed and ready.

Gizur replied: 'I spoke with them and I challenged them to meet us on the battle-field of Dunheith [i.e. the plains of the Danube] and in the valleys of Dylgia.'"
