Building in Iceland? Better clear it with the Elves first

You know, they have the RIGHT idea. We could take a big lesson here.

HAFNARFJORDUR, Iceland - Do elves exist? Like many Icelanders, Hildur Hakonardottir considers the question to be more complicated than it
appears. 'This is a very, very, very delicate question,' Ms. Hakonardottir, a
retired museum director, said. 'If you ask people if they believe in
elves, they will say yes and no. If they say yes, maybe they don't, and
if they say no, maybe they do.'

I've always thought of the celtic fae as quite different from the elves of the northern myths, though. Maybe there are more connections than I thought.

Indeed there are. By bloodline, I am both Alfar and Twlwyth Teg. The Twlwyth Teg are always described as "the Welsh Elves".
