[QUOTE="doghead, post: 6289100, member: 8243"] I have so been itching to have a troll as a major character. Just saying. Some thoughts on elves, in no particular order. Its just an idea at the moment, but it goes some what to explaining a race that is not, mechanically, much different from humans. It also creates an more interesting and complex relationship between the elves and the monster kingdom. Feel free to comment, elaborate, done flamethrower ... Elves, DnD elves and DW elves by association), don't really feel sufficiently magical to be truly Fae. They are a little to mundane. Of course elves are, by and large, members of the monster kingdom. They have permeated every level of the kingdom and it society. But they are not of the kingdom. The origins of the elves are lost in time. Or if not lost, closely held by those that know. Some say they come from human stock. They are the descendants of those taken at the dawn of man (replaced by changlings) who over the centuries have become kind-of-magical. Other say they are the descendant from the changlings, raised by man, but who returned. And some, that they are born of mud, blood, magic and the corpses of the dead. They are, in a way, Half-Fae. And in that lies the secret of their race. Like the Janissaries, Elves are the result of a need for someone to do the work that someone else didn't want to do. Namely, dealing with the mundane world of the humans. And now I really have to go. Got to be back at work in eight hours. thotd [/QUOTE]
