Maybe. But the myths, even with the limited sample we have, aren't always clear on that. Sometimes they appear to make a distinction between 'dwarf' and 'dark elf'. Sometimes they blur the distinction between light-elf and dark-elf. Sometimes it's not clear whether the Vanir and the elves are the same or different.
