Right?! Remote and picturesque, not the worst combination.

...trying to read that wiki page and have no idea what I'm reading. Clearly not up to date on folklore.

Yeah. I'm just curious as to how they're gonna do in the near and distant future. I hate to be bleak, but I hear islands and coastal cities all over the world are slowly sinking due to rising sea levels. Hopefully they'll do alright, cause they obviously have a very rich culture that they're very proud of.

As for Aarne-Thompson? Think of it like TV Tropes but for folk stories. The biggest criticism it seems to have is that their classifications often seem arbitrary and inconsistent. Maybe it's because I'm not a folklorist myself, but I think in the end it doesn't matter too much.
