a chasm opened in the earth and out of it coal-black horses sprang, drawing a chariot and driven by one who had a look of dark splendor, majestic and beautiful and terrible.
Scandinavian tales and creatures
Gårdsnissar (farm brownies) are a type of gnome who live around farms, helping out the inhabitants by milking the cows, feeding the horses and collecting eggs from chickens. They never show themselves, but do not make the mistake of thinking they don’t exist. If they are mistreated they will get their revenge; making the milk go sour, stealing valuables, letting the horses escape and tormenting the cat.
