Talk:Weyland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

from Wayland Smith, which now redirects to Weyland:

"He was the son of a sailor and a mermaid and is King of the Elves. He has two brothers. One is named Egil, also a smith.

In France he is known as Gallans, in Germany as Wieland, and in Norse Legend as Volund or Volundr."

Moved here because I can't verify most of it—specifically, the part about his family and his French name (Google is no help, and there are no links to fr:Gallans). —No-One Jones 21:59, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

The_Master_and_Margarita has a character with a noticeably similiar name. Any connection?

the character Waylon Smithers, from the animated TV show "The Simpsons", may be named in reference to Weyland Smithy or the "Fables" character of a similar name.
