Originally, Svartalhiem was just a dark sea. Completely black. Eyes are useless. The secret is legitimately navigating isn't your thoughts. You can actually move yourself and see with your mind the wildlife in the sea have mastered this. If someone or something can't figure it out, they simply lie in the sea in a canonic state, until swallowed by the local wildlife. When the Black Elves arrived, they used their magic to raise cities out of the sea, made of obsidian and shadow. They sometimes throw slaves and criminals into the sea, and a few have figured out the navigation process. Those who don't, they die.
