[QUOTE="Lwaxy, post: 6269116, member: 53286"] Shahalesti elven sayings developing during our game: There is no saying what a hin makes of the world (because they are too small to "get" the world) Two dwarfs don't make an elf. A drop in the ocean of a Shahalesti's life (referring either to short lived races, or anyone who is supposedly inferior to their artisan and magical talents, which includes other elves) Hope not to see what a Shahan's eyes can percieve (in our game, a Shahan was a Shahalesti elder who has done something to be mentioned in history books. Which, thanks to "historic inflation" was now about 1/4 of the elder population) To turn around where an orc would run is to show one's true colors ( it means being worse than an orc, as because the orc is inferior he can be expected to give up) We had Shahalesti elven society work on some assumed caste system, where there are no written rules about who is above the others, but they follow along anyway, because not doing so would violate the core of their being. Most other races, especially the hin, follow this example, and the hin are seen as a junior race to the elves next in line of importance. Some Shahalesti scholars believe that the elves used to be so small, and grew with their knowledge and wisdom. Supposedly, the hin race has gained about 2 inches of average height since the Elves started "tutoring" them, and might be a fully developed race in a few thousand years. The hin, when no one listens, say that the arrogance of the elves grew with their height and they may reach the moon in a few hundred years. [/QUOTE]
