Profile

Origin

An elf (from Proto-Germanic *albiz) is a class of beings in the folklore of the various Germanic peoples whose exact qualities vary by region. However, they have a commonality of being humanoid and having magical powers.

In England and Scotland, elves were believed to bring illness to humans. By the early modern period in England, elves were mostly replaced in the popular imagination by fairies (a loanword from French).

In Germany, elves (Albe) were believed to cause nightmares by sitting on a person's chest while they were asleep.

In Scandinavia there are two different types of elves. The first are the Norse elves (álfar) associated with the gods, which Snorri Sturluson writes about the different kinds of in the Prose Edda: svartálfar (black elves), ljósálfar (light elves), and dǫkkálfar (dark elves).
The second type are the folkloric elves (Swedish: alver or älvor, Danish: elverfolk) mostly found in Sweden and Denmark, a supernatural fairy-like being often believed to dance in fields and meadows.

The modern fantasy genre depiction of elves is heavily influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien's writings.
