Nordic folklore tells of Hidden People living within hills, rocks, and wild landscapes. What appeared empty to human eyes might contain an entire unseen community.

I don't have a favorite so I'm just whipping this one out because 1) it is one of the first instances of what will become a trend for Owen (dispelling other people's concern with humor) and 2) penis joke. #SummerOfStories #Dogwood1
“What are you really doing here, Owen? Why are you risking everything for—for nothing?” “What’s your problem all of a sudden?” Wesley came forward. Owen automatically shuffled backward till he hit a file cabinet. “You want to know what my problem is? You want to know what I’ve been doing ever since I broke the dam, and now, that you tricked me—manipulated me—into returning the Horn of Evercalf to the huldrefolk—and ever since then, I have been thinking about how small and useless your hands are!” He grabbed one of Owen’s wrists and shook it for emphasis, making the hand flop around. “Yeah? I got a small dick too, gonna drag me for that while you’re at it?” Owen tugged futilely against Wesley’s grip. “Can you throw a punch? Can you even open jars? When this massive tower of shit you have infiltrated inevitably comes crumbling down on top of you, how do you intend to dig yourself out with hands like these?”

En slags spillbar versjon av the Northman. Og hvis du synes det høres grimt ut tar du feil. Det er enda grimmere. Her er det kannibalistiske drauger, monstrøse jotner og mystiske huldrefolk.

Jaz VS Astre, an attack for Crispsaber. His characters have that really cool early shonen vibe so I had to draw a fight scene.

Drawing of two men fighting in the street. One is wielding a sword the other two short wands. The style is reminiscent of dragon ball Z and other early Shonen. There is magical effects between the weapons as they collide.

NOE har skjedd. Man får bare brokker av forklaringer. Men lokale eksperter kan by på en fullt narrativ som setter det uforståelige inn i en forståelig kontekst. Møter med underjordiske/huldrefolk gikk oftest galt, annet enn i mer underholdninspregede fortellinger.

Hm, er usikker på hva som er dokumentert av sånt før innsamlerne på 1800-tallet. Huldrefolk er sånn generelt en del av konglomeratet av underjordiske/overnaturlige vesener i parallell-samfunn.

This is my hyperfixation so a lot. I have the basic, lycanthropes, dragons, vampires, but I also have odd ones like red caps, huldrefolk, selkie. I even have a mothman cuz mothman is cool. They're what I focus on so they range from protagonists to antagonists to just people living there life.

21. "Do you have any idea what huldrefolk do to sweet little idiots like you?”
“They drown them?”
“THEY MARRY THEM!” Wesley covered his face with his hands and made a valiant effort to compose himself. #Dogwood1

4/4 But there's one notable reference that is all my doing (and not through Wesley's narrative lens). When I wrote the Huldrefolk scene in #Dogwood1 with giant cows, i really tried to capture the vibe of this scene from Lost World:
a group of people standing in front of a large dinosaur with the word nostalgia on the bottom right

Lillesøstrene mine er for evig og alltid skremt av tussekallene av mormor, som bare skulle forklare lydene i huset fra 1911 når de prøvde å sove, og i stedet gav dem livslang angst for huldrefolk. Som sikkert bare er sunt.

Jeg har selv møtt Huldra, og jeg løp vekk fra henne og overlevde.

All of the DOGWOOD non-humans are referred to broadly as fey but they're more like basic wolf shifters, with the exception of the Hag, the Fairest, and Hildegjerd. The first 2 are seasonal deities. Hildegjerd is a huldrefolk, complete with a hollow back, where she hangs her lantern. #writingprompt
Hildegjerd raised the conch to her lips and blew. A long, sonorous note carried up and down the river, burrowing deep into Wesley’s skull and ribs. A tremor ran out from the huldrefolk, pushing waves up the bank high enough to make the spectators scream and retreat. The earth rumbled, trees wobbling like snapped rubber bands. A great roaring, sucking sound filled Wesley’s ears as thousands of gallons of water were displaced at once, spilling and crashing away from the mountainous beasts rising out of the river’s depths. Hildegjerd continued to blow the conch, while the other huldrefolk whooped and spun their staffs, soaring upward with their feet planted firmly on the heads and shoulders of giant cows. Hildegjerd’s great mount headed up the inlet and carried her away: up the nixie’s river, toward the valley which had long been the calving grounds for the huldrefolk’s herd. The bulls led the way, twenty, thirty feet tall, with horns nearly as wide as their bodies were long, scything through the slender pines growing alongside the nixie’s river. One for each of the huldrefolk, the bulls cut a devastating path through the forest, blazing a trail for the herd that followed: over one hundred head of cattle marching up from the water, water cascading from their mossy, barnacle-crusted backs, their lowing travelling like earthquakes.

You gotta read this like that screaming cat ballet instructor from Princess Tutu anime who was always threatening to marry the bad dancers

Wesley dragged Owen under the shelter of an overhand near the waterfall. “Stupid coney. Do you have any idea what huldrefolk do to sweet little idiots like you?” “They drown them?” Owen said. “THEY MARRY THEM.” Wesley covered his face with his hands and made a valiant effort to compose himself.

WINGS is out now! Fauns and harpies and 💕romance💕
www.amazon.com/Wings-Valley...

DOGWOOD's still under construction but it's got a few different fey, from basic wolf shifters to the huldrefolk. And plant magic body horror.

You may start out human but you don't stay that way. #WritingPrompt
Wings in the Valley by Aud Connelly Cover by Arden Powell Wings in the Valley in bold script framed by golden wheat. Silhouettes of a harpy and two fauns against towering ancient ruins framed by vines, grapes, and ivy. The shadow of a dragon looms over everything, including the plot.

Our mini lore drop today comes from the Shetland Islands.

The Kunal-Trow is one of the Huldrefolk which translates to the hidden people.

They are often described as fairies that are dressed in gray. But they can also appear as giants or trolls.

The live in earth mounds similar to some brownies.

Val'dran would probably be either general huldrefolk/haugfolk (hill people) or a gardvord/nisse.

The former I can imagine him as a hulder with the cow's tail and hollow back because I love 'em and he *is* beautiful.

As a gardvord... grumpy lil guy watching the homestead. *If* you're polite.
A screenshot of Val'dran looking upward with big eyes and a plaintive expression.

After extensive research on the World Wide Web, I’ve discovered that Hegseth is a Troll surname of Scandinavian origin.

Humanoid trolls - Huldrefolk- “are almost exactly the same as humans, aside from having their own tail.” (Someone should check)

The Taladas elves were all pretty different from each other as well. The Silvanaes were very influenced by the Silvanesti from which they were descended, but they were nothing like the Huldrefolk elves, who were much more fae in outlook or the nomadic Tamire elf clans.

We’ll start with the description and lovely folky Illustrations by Glenn Wolff of the various Huldrefolk who can call Santa Claus a friend and relative. FotR takes a lot of inspiration from the myths and legends of far north cultures and it makes a real difference.

Ole abrió los ojos y divisó, sobre una roca, a un Huldre tocando el violín. Huldre o Huldrefolk es cómo en Noruega y otros países se denomina a las hadas y demás seres feéricos. Dicen que solo pueden verse en momentos especiales o poseyendo poderes mágicos (o tras un fuerte golpe, visto lo visto).
