It's Fantastic (in the literal sense), but it's oh so real. It's believable - a history, not an alternative reality. It exists very much according to the rules of our own world, and fits in quite nicely with our collective cultural heritage. It's much more mythical than fictional.
On a more concrete level, I'd have to say the Noldorin Elves of the First Age that fought against Morgoth.
