Being a god doesn't make you immortal per-say. B.) They had an end of the world theory. They were the only polytheistic religion to believe in an apocalypse.Yes but if you go through the mythology they were created at the same time as humans, each of the nine realms has inhabitants. Also, they factor very heavily into the mythology of the gods.Snorri's Edda says that Álfheimr is the "third heaven"or "all the heavens" not that the Ljósálfar are gods. If the Dökkálfar are dwarves, that means also that the Ljósálfar are a type of dwarf, Dökk (dark/black) álfar (fairy/elf), Ljós (white/light) álfar(fairy/elf). Again the Dökkálfar were never stated to live anywhere but inside the earth, the Dvergr (sorry I spelled it wrong earlier) dwell in Nidavellir, and only in Nidavellir.And to answer someone else, Kelpies are fey, mostly considered Celtic mythos, one could make an argument for their inclusion in Germanic/Norse/Viking folklore</blockquote>
