[QUOTE="Tsyr, post: 704409, member: 354"] Normaly, they are re-incarnated as adults. It's a very fey thing... Every 300 years or so, an elf begins to feel the need to leave the elven community he is in... and just wanders away one day, unobstrusivly, walks a few miles away, and goes to sleep. They are covered with leaves (which seem to fall perfectly upon them), and are undisturbed by predators (which seem to not notice them). Their current body dies. A couple weeks later, they wake up, in a different "body", younger this time. Not quite a child though, the elven equivilant to about 18-20. Every few re-incarnations, elves willingly choose to loose their memories and be reincarnated from the infant stage onward. Their core personality remains the same, but it refreshes their mind. It's the only thing that keeps them sane, considering that otherwise high elves have an immortal soul. An elf can choose to not do that, of course, but it's not smart. Eventualy the elf will go insane after 3 or 4 reincarnations without a refresh. Certain meditations and such can help delay it... a few elves have managed to go 6 or 7 cycles... but it always catches up to them eventualy. An elf that fails to purge his soul will slowly go insane in a most unique fashion: Time will cease to have meaning for an the elf. An elf in such a state might walk off a cliff because at one time he remembers a bridge there, or burn to death in a fire that he doesn't feel because he is lost in another time. Dwarves don't have the huge imbalance in my world, it's closer to the human norm. Dwarves are too utilitarian minded to approve of same-sex relationships. I keep meaning to post a write-up of the races on my world... [/QUOTE]
