	Elfland
		Elfland was the famous forest up above the U.C. Santa Cruz campus.
		Some people would go up there and construct shrines for others to find later during psychedelic journeys, others would camp there for a night or two to get away from the chaos in the dorms.
		Technically, the center of Elfland still exists, but it is now right near the back walls of College Nine (or is it College 10?), which makes it a very different place.

	Divine Right Variant: The Elven Black Prince
		He has nurturing his hatred of the other kingdoms of Minaria, particularly the goblins of Nithmere, but the realities of exile, and the exorbitant costs of maintaining his lifestyle and his followers' equipment, have forced him to occasionally join sides in the common border skirmishes and minor wars of plunder that frequently beset Minaria.
		This is not as far fetched as it seems, for many of the arrogant elves secretly cling to the ideals of racial superiority, as would rally to the old royal blood if the opportunity arose.
		The Elfland monarch counter must be removed from play, and may only return to play if the Black Prince is later killed or captured.

	choice
		The King of Elfland might have started by driving off all the changing things beyond his desired view much as the Freer does over the course of the book, although this story presumably took place prior to our story and is not told.
		She is at least the equal in power to the king of elfland, and as decisive in her wishes as this King and the Freer.
		In this view of The King of Elfland's Daughter, the importance of the otherworld magic - and the significance of maintaining a semi-permeable border between Erl and Elfland - is secondary to the importance of the magic in the fields YOU KNOW.

	The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany - an infinity plus review
		As though magic were not the spice and essence of life, its ornament and splendour." Elfland itself is a world of intoxication, a place 'beyond the fields we know' where time runs slower and the wonder of existence is perpetually immanent.
		Dunsany's Elfland is not so much a real place as a state of being, the ability to see heaven in every grain of sand.
		Elfland is only a condition of our world and has little autonomy.

	AU Libraries > Bits & PCs > September 2003
		Those of you who’ve been here awhile may remember Elfland in olden days, when catalogers were personally responsible for most of the cataloging.
		With the coming of the great and terrible Stella, Elfland was shaken to its foundations and fundamentally changed.
		Serials cataloging and maintenance is also part of Elfland these days and handled by other staff, as you saw in last month’s farewell column from Waits.

	Inhabitants of Minaria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The offense of the Sion Hac against Elfland was perhaps not in inordinate cruelty, but simple that they were the outsiders to demonstrate to the Elven race that their traditional way of life was not an preordained constant, but something fragile that had to be defended anew in every generation.
		That the half-bloods were not all massacred with their human kind is obvious, as is the fact that many could not, or did not choose to flee the land of their birth.
		It was a hard fight, for the Ercii were as out-door savvy people like the Tail People themselves, but Eloia finally won the match, accepted the rites of peace and brotherhood, and from that day her tribe has enjoyed a liberal right of passage into the land of the Ercii.

		When the townspeople request that their ruler be magical, the king sends Alveric to Elfland to marry the king's daughter.

	The History of Elfland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Books and scrolls were gathered from the ruins, and schools were established to prevent the barbarization of the rising generation which had never known the Empire.
		Their control of eastern Elfland, however, seems to have been tenuous, for it was there that native leaders began the revolt against them.
		Fortunately, Elfland's conquerors were civilized and educated people; many more books were carried off as booty than were destroyed.

	RPGnet: Review of The King of Elfland's Daughter
		The King of Elfland’s Daughter is Dunsany at his best, able to combine ancient mythological tropes with a unique love of the weird and incredible.
		Dunsany spends one chapter on this journey, then gets to the real point of his story, which is what happens when a girl from Elfland is forced to live in the mortal world, and what happens when the two worlds collide.
		Part of the power of The King of Elfland’s Daughter is that it is so very different from what many have come to understand as fantasy.

		Out of 17 thunderbolts which he dug up at her bidding from the soft earth under her cabbages, she fashioned him a sword and enchanted it with runes and bade him be off.
		The deep 'blue of summer gloaming, the pale blue of Venus flooding the evening, the night-blue deeps of twilit lakes—these were hints of Elfland's color, as the rarest of earthly smells and shapes and sounds were hints of Elfland's other beauties.
		And she was blown away by the northwest wind into Elfland again, leaving Orion with Witch Ziroonderel to nurse him.

	Ethics of Elfland
		But as Chesterton ably demonstrates, it is the materialist's blind faith in the supposed mechanical necessity of nature's repetition that leaves him in the dark.
		This enchantment is a fundamental ethic of elfland.
		As Chesterton shows, we must have that attitude that can "exult in the monotonous" which is the basis not only for the ethics of elfland but for true Christian living as well.

	The SF Site: Blowing the Horns of Elfland -- Ellen Kushner and the Magic of Music
		The prose tale recounts the Medieval ballad of True Thomas, who upon meeting the Queen of Elfland is tricked into becoming her slave.
		Ultimately he is released, but not before gaining the gift of prophecy, which becomes both an advantage and a hindrance as he returns to the mortal world.
		With the May, 1997 release of The Horns of Elfland, an anthology of short stories that combine the themes of music and magic, her uniquely lyrical literary vision should become even more evident.

	World of Froud- TM
		Readers will return repeatedly to this book because its stories are the beginnings of their own stories; its art illuminates the path to their own creative expressions of place and their experiences with the wondrous.
		The key to that land resides — as it always has — in the act of storytelling.The sacredness of letters is largely forgotten in these times because our contemporary alphabets have become abstract.
		Beyond the sound of our own voices, we may hear the horns of Elfland and in that way know the gates of Faery are close at hand.

	4. - THE ETHICS OF ELFLAND.
		It is not earth that judges heaven, but heaven that judges earth; so for me at least it was not earth that criticized elfland, but elfland that criticized the earth.
		I knew the magic beanstalk before I had tasted beans; I was sure of the Man in the Moon before I was certain of the moon.
		Such, it seemed, was the joy of man, either in elfland or on earth; the happiness depended on not doing something which you could at any moment do and which, very often, it was not obvious why you should not do.

		It is not earth that judges heaven, but heaven that judges earth; so for me at least it was not earth that criticised elfland, but elfland that criticised the earth.
		But I am not concerned with any of the separate statutes of elfland, but with the whole spirit of its law, which I learnt before I could speak, and shall retain when I cannot write.
		I am concerned with a certain way of looking at life, which was created in me by the fairy tales, but has since been meekly ratified by the mere facts.

		He is the lens through which we witness the strange and ethereal beauty of Elfland, the trumpeting of Faerie music at dawn, the mad shaping of lightning-born swords and midnight witchcraft.
		The tale of The King of Elfland's Daughter is pure, simple story.
		Young Alveric is set upon by his city's parliament to go out and win some magic for the community when, in their sweet hubris, they decide that a magic Lord to rule over them is what's needed to put their 'burg on the map.
