An excellent question. The Book Of Invasions predates the Norman Conquest, so we can't blame it on that. A way to depose the pre-Christian gods - "they were defeated by our ancestors and moved into the Otherworld"?

Also depending on where, when, and who... they weren't. Like all myths Irish fairy myths aren't a coherent body, but a growing-together of a thousand years of stories; compare and contrast Tír na nÓg and the Hunchback of Knockgrafton!
