Oh, them! Pshaw! Cos Nustr operatives and
roustabouts the lot of them! ;)

We would nèver call them "Elves", but the idea of
British surviving to the present in Kemr is still
a little risqué. It's only in the last 5 years or
so that the notion of British survival into the
medieval period has gained acceptance.

Not a few Kemrese linguists pishposh the idea
because the purported record of that language has
not been subject to authentication; and the text
itself appears to be heavily influenced by Latin
(almost like someone took British words and
replaced a Latin text with them). Also, the
secrecy surrounding the text's discovery and its
subsequent disappearance have not helpped matters
any.
