...of course, a Rodney who'd read the books would immediately catch a clue. =)
That's the way I was looking at it. Except for some of the Seelie Court of Scottish folklore and the Tuatha Dé Danann of Ireland, the elves of most mythologies are diminutive and fairy-like, and I just don't see Rodney being all that interested in folklore. I could, however, see him having read Tolkien just to see what the fuss was about and appreciating the world building required for such detail in a story.
Thank you so much for taking the time to research this and do it right, because it really shows in the story. Honestly, this is really the only way a crossover between these two 'verses could be done believably.
Please pardon the edit. My brain and my fingers aren't well coordinated today. :-p
