The Great A&#039;Tuin wrote: A brief investigation into the the term seems to suggest that it is a "Wand-Elf", "Gand"=wand/staff, and "alf" being an alternate/archaic spelling of "elf". I can only assume that this means that those seeking the addition of these "Gand-Alfs" are requesting and addition to one or more elvish factions, presumably in the form of some manner of racial spell-caster or other sourcerous person/s. 'Though why anyone would ask for such an uncanon and unprecedented addition to the mod is beyond me.

Yours sincerely; The Etymology Man :) Gandalf was also one in a long list of the first-ever-made dwarves in Norse mythology. The names Thror, Thrain, Fili, Kili, Dwalin, Balin, Thorin, and Dori also came from this list. Tolkien, being a student of the Icelandic sagas, probably got the names from there. So, technically, Gandalf is a dwarf as well. If so, why is everyone asking for something already in the mod? :)
