mörkur

mörkur is a concept related to darkness or shadow, often appearing in Icelandic folklore and mythology. While not a single entity, it can represent the absence of light, a primal force, or a metaphorical state of obscurity. In some narratives, mörkur might be associated with the unknown, the subconscious, or places where evil lurks. It can also simply refer to the literal darkness of night or deep forests. The term's usage is flexible, allowing for interpretation within different contexts of stories and beliefs. It serves as a way to describe or personify the intangible aspects of darkness in a cultural framework.
