I know this is a bit off topic guys but let me give you some advice on how to deal with those people who can't disdinguish between "elven" and "elfin." Do what I do. Whenever people say that elves are short ...I say that during the middle ages , when Christianity took over...the christians didnt want anything to come jeopardize the authority of God. THerefore they had people start believing that elves were short and less powerful. Because ,previously Norse and Celtic people believed they were tall and beautiful. I cant stress this enough you people who don't know the difference( not any barrowdowners of course). And believe me ....whta I sya is true...it's in books.
