[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5080971, member: 2012"] [B][SIZE=5][U]ELVES[/U][/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4][B][U]Elf[/U][/B] Elves are beautiful. Elves are vain. Elves are arrogant. Elves think they're Godlike. The other races of the world have a variety of opinions about elves. And, usually, only about one in four of them are flattering. Regardless, elves rarely worry about the opinions of other races and look towards the (very) long term. In the early centuries of human evolution, elves decided to wait out the fecund upstarts. Their leaders are still waiting. Elves aren't much for civilization... well, at least not the civilizations of other races. They respect dwarves for their strength in battle, but they can't abide the need of the stout-folk to disturb nature in order to build their grand cities. They have a fondness for halflings but don't consider them truly civilized. The same can be said for gnomes although there is a common bond between them... Magic. Elves love magic in all its forms. They make great wizards and even better sorcerers. Magic lives in their blood almost as much as nature does. This often leads them to practice druidism while a few of their more unruly kinfolk become pyromancers. Necromancy is shunned by most elves, however, and an elf who becomes a necromancer is likely an outcast. Warlocks are nearly as rare but not as likely to be pariahs. Elves hate goblins and most other savage races with a tendency towards evil. They rarely give members of such races the benefit of the doubt, which means that war is common between elven clans and goblinoid tribes. They have an intense hatred for orcs (and half-orcs); the two races are blood enemies and vendettas are commonplace. Elves tend towards Chaos and are strong supporters of Good; however, they tend to shift their opinions more towards Neutrality as they age.
