Nymphs live for thousands of years, and yet remain adolescent girls, forever; dazzling in beauty and youth. Nymphs guard all the natural places of the earth: from fresh running streams, to the oceans, flowers, clouds, the sun, the wind - find a full list here They were made as close-kin to gods and as protectors of nature.
Nymphs belong to specific places, and not only are they often named after those places, but also, the feel of that place describes the nymph. For example, a dark, misty dam would probably have a dark, troubled nymph presiding over it. Nymphs usually adopt some of the element of their habitat. As an idea, the costumes of the Sea Nymphs (for example) could be blue and green with ocean foam as a trimming.
They may marry humans; it seems through their own strong will. If the nymph does not have wings, it would be easy for her to trick a man into believing that she is a human girl of unearthly beauty, not a faerie. Their sons become remarkable heroes.
Mermaids, through many legends, are depicted as being able to woo a man through her singing to his death, and that the sight of a mermaid while out at sea was a bad omen. It is not difficult to see where the word 'nymphomaniac' originates from!
On the contrary, nymphs have been known to have amazing healing powers from nature and may be very kind to a human in need.

Dear all, we as a group try to keep the quality of the deviations featured here as high as possible. This is why we always ask you to post only your best work.
As you know, all deviations are checked for quality before they are accepted in our galleries.
This means that rough sketches/doodles, WIPs of any kind, bad scans, poor quality or cellphone photos, undersized images and artwork on ruled paper will most probably be declined.
Since I and my co-founders took over this group last year, there have been some alterations

Elven Tales
Vedui' il'er (Greetings everyone),
Through one of our newest members I came to realise that we do not have a subfolder in our galleries that provides a home for Elf-related stories, poetry and other kinds of texts.
This group is one that features artwork of Elves and many other fantasy beings. I feel artwork should also include our member's textual artistry.
So, as from today, there is a new subfolder called Elven Tales http://the-elf-factory.deviantart.com/gallery/37018490
Since this is completely new, here are some guidelines for this new catergory.
Accepted in this subfolder:
:bulletgreen: Any text that features one or more Elves as
Greetings to all...
Vedui' il'er (Greetings everyone),
Saesa omentien lle (Pleasure meeting you).
As you know Tari Anne, the former founder of this group, wanted to close the group for reasons she has stated in previous blogs.
I did not want this group cease to excist, so I decided to step in and take it off her hands.
Together with ~ArtByEdyn (https://www.deviantart.com/artbyedyn) and :iconFirefliesInk:
as co-founders we will keep The Elf Factory alive so you can keep sharing your wonderful work with eachother and the rest of the world.
I myself do not like change, and this group looks good as it is, so I won't go and change the whole thing beyond recognition (why change what's good?).
