Having no way to get there herself, Macrae asked as much as she could of the place where Elspeth lived as they walked to where she did. Elspeth described an entire nation carved into fjallgarðurinn, which Macrae eventually translated were underwater mountains. Elspeth lived with her mother, but spent much more time with her village's elder in her home.

Macrae found it very charming.
