==Title== The name ''Elidor'' originates in a [[Welsh mythology|Welsh folktale]] whose title is commonly translated as ''Elidor and the Golden Ball'', described by [[Gerald of Wales|Giraldus Cambrensis]] in ''Itinerarium Cambriae'', a record of his 1188 journey across the country. Elidor was a priest who as a boy was led by [[Dwarf (folklore)|dwarves]] to a castle of gold in a land that, while beautiful, was not illuminated by the full light of the sun.<ref>''Elidor and the Golden Ball'' [http://www.safalra.com/other/elidor-and-the-golden-ball/] from [[Richard Colt Hoare]] (1806), ''The Itinerary of Archbishop Baldwin Through Wales'', a translation of [[Giraldus Cambrensis]] (1191), ''Itinerarium Cambriae''</ref> This compares with Garner's description of the golden walls of Gorias contrasting with the dull sky of the land of Elidor.
