Yeah. They could use that or make another one. A non-magical Bard is also a possibility.

Isn't there a non-magical ranger in a UA? I thought there was.

The setting would use fighter and rogue, the non-magical versions only. I know there's a non-magical ranger out there. That one would be allowed. Magic could be a feat tree. Your 1st level Magic Initiate feat could give you one cantrip and one first level spell. At 4th level the next feat...

Not a chance. 99.99% of humans will never enter the keep to gain that knowledge. Any elf can just walk over to a historian down the block to get it.

So would all the elves who have even a passing interest in history. They'd go to elven teachers and learn about history, including the detailed information the Moon Elves have on Netheril. And no, it would not take an elven scholar to specialize in Netheril to have common historical knowledge...

@Zardnaar, I just pulled out my 2e Netheril stuff and the Eaerlanni Elves(Moon Elves) were a major force inside of Netheril up until the floating cities came to be. At that point they let go of their holdings, but it doesn't say that they left. They had major holdings all the way through the...

Why do you assume that elves are stupid and have no knowledge that they learn, like history? They are a very intelligent, old, and learned race. They don't grow up in ignorance and hope they run across stuff. They are taught by their elders. There would be elven historians that know things...

All of the settings use the default lore for elves unless they specifically say otherwise. Settings can change the default lore, but if they don't, the default stands. The Forgotten Realms lore for Sun Elves say that they recall and emphasize their history and strive for excellence(good note...

It is Forgotten Realms unless something in the Forgotten Realms elvish lore contradicts it. Have you seen anything that contradicts it? I haven't.

5 flying cities survived, not 2. The cities of Anauria, Asram, and Hlondath were high enough that when Mystra was born from the ashes of Mystral, she was able to slow their fall and they landed safely. All of their knowledge and population survived. Those cities did eventually fall, but it...

Mordenkainen's. Still part of the game as it has not been replaced by anything in 5.5e.

I voted Sword and Sorcery, but I wouldn't mind Epic Fantasy, either. Multiple votes would have been good for those of us who would be happy with multiple different themed settings.

What part of remembers OTHER lives did you miss there? Also, they taught the humans magic. They would have been around to see them become the magic empire, and they would have talked about it with other elves. Those memories would be all over the place. Why do they need to know that to know...

The elven mind works differently. They are similar to Vulcans in that they undertake mental exercises and actually go back to dwell on prior memories via reverie. They would not forget the past like humans do. From Mordenkainen's HISTORY, MY YOUNG FRI ENDS? JUST BECAUSE YOUR lives are as...

You never know. Many years ago there was this guy who was always telling people that they were metagaming and metagaming was bad. He had even told it to me in the thread I'm referring to. I very civilly in my response pointed out that one of the things he said was also metagaming and he...
