Mythical Creatures/Folk (Spoilers ALL Books, including Words Like Coins)

[Norma J.]

I think Others are somehow mixed up with the bad stuff that happens to humans, and will happen in the future. For example, the way anything found on Other's Beach must be left with them, as (in their own words) 'The treasures of this beach are not for humans. What the sea brings here is meant to be lost to humankind! You were not worthy of it.'
Another example of 'bad stuff that happens to humans' is Icefyre's statement that: 'the humans here have always hated us.' and 'We destroyed them, of course. Humans are nuisance enough without letting them think they can defy our wishes.'
