Once a Fool
First Post
Here's a thought:
If elves do not sleep, that means they also do not dream. What would such a condition do to their psychology? If dreams offer insights into the inner workings of a mortal's mind, must the elves meditation period then be a substitute for this? What flavor in the world is lost for the elves if they cannot experience such deeply symbolic visions? Are they consequently less open to metaphore? Would this lead elves to interperate things far more literally than other races?
Any thoughts on this matter?
