ABOUT MY FANTASY BOOK

Names and places are from a novel I wrote some twenty years ago but never published. In the novel Borea is the capital in the principality of evil. Now these names and the map that was developed to create a new world with elves, humans and others are used.

ELVEN MUSIC

Elves can do anything they want and they actually believe it. There's distinct and attractive voices are a delight to listen to when they sing in chorus. They also sing well coordinated duets with each other, elves love to sing. Humans who hear an elf sing are enchanted by their voices that reigned in peace and love!

NO ELF CAN RESIST MUST!

To the question what elves drink the obvious answer is must. Must is a beverage that actually exists in reality and is that popular that it outsells even Coca-Cola during Christmas and Easter.

Must is only available during these high festivals in Sweden. No elf in Borea can resist a cold foaming must. The elves drink no alcohol. If you don't want must you have to choose between milk, water and juice.

Welcome to our dark world of demons, vampires, unknown creatures, mighty empires and kingdoms.

HISTORY OF THE ELVES

The earliest preserved description of elves comes from Norse mythology. In Old Norse they are called álfar.

Men could be elevated to the rank of elves after death such as the petty king Olaf Geirstad-Elf. The smith hero Völundr is identified as 'Ruler of Elves' (vísi álfa) and 'One among the Elven Folk' (álfa ljóði), in the poem Völundarkviða, whose later prose introduction also identifies him as the son of a king of 'Finnar', an Arctic people respected for their shamanic magic (most likely, the sami).

In the Thidrek's Saga a human queen is surprised to learn that the lover who has made her pregnant is an elf and not a man. In the saga of Hrolf Kraki a king named Helgi rapes and impregnates an elf-woman clad in silk who is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.

Crossbreeding was possible between elves and humans in the Old Norse belief. The human queen who had an elvish lover bore the hero Högni and the elf-woman who was raped by Helgi bore Skuld, who married Hjörvard, Hrólfr Kraki's killer.

The saga of Hrolf Kraki adds that since Skuld was half-elven, she was very skilled in witchcraft (seiðr), and this to the point that she was almost invincible in battle.

When her warriors fell, she made them rise again to continue fighting. The only way to defeat her was to capture her before she could summon her armies, which included elvish warriors.

They are also found in the Heimskringla and in The Saga of Thorstein, Viking's Son accounts of a line of local kings who ruled over Álfheim, corresponding to the modern Swedish province Bohuslän and Norwegian province Østfold, and since they had elven blood they were said to be more beautiful than most men.

The land governed by King Alf was called Alfheim, and all his offspring are related to the elves. They were fairer than any other people. The last king is named Gandalf.
