    北歐神話

    As the Scandinavians were at that time still worshippers of Thor and Odin, the belief in Alfs and Dwarfs accompanied them to their new abodes, and there, as elsewhere, survived the introduction of Christianity.

    2023, Kveldulf Gundarsson, Elves, Wights & Trolls, The Three Little Sisters, page 83:
