I'd have thought 'possible' given that that island is "enshrouded" by the magic of the Others? Though, of course, the magic could be present for another reason, other than protection...eg attraction? I'm going with protection though eg protection of culture/artifacts/memories etc because I want to believe that the Others are going to be good guys...I think...but, if I do that, I have to consider the identity of "the bad guys", though the priests of Sa are my pick for the moment...

What is most magnificent? A crested elderling, like has been seen before, or an winged elderling, unlike any elderling before it?
Another thing I don't think I've pointed out here is the woman with butterfly wings that Gankis spoke of when he and Kennit visited Others' Island together at the beginning of SoM - a friend of his dad's had picked her upas his Treasure Beach find. Obviously it is a figurine of an Elderling with wings...
