Particularly some golden age before their time. If elves where in the here and now there would be elves that would have seen the rise and fall of the British Empire and who knew people that had seen the rise of the Spanish and Portuguese empires. I think that this would give one a different perspective one the permanence of structures. They probably have cultural traditions about cultures that became rigid and unable to hand Black Swan events and other out of context problems. They would have probably come up with some cultural practise to cleanse oneself of outmode thinking. May be they retire to very isolated monasteries for a couple decades to clear the head and then go for a wanderjahr. Perhaps that is where all these elven adventurers come from.</blockquote>
