Many elven races are content to let Father Time take care of an annoying human or human kingdom, rather than have elves die trying to do what time will take care of within the elve's lifetime without any muss.It's not just the racial stereotype of elves, but a logical extension of a society where the citizens live so long, compared to other, newer races. It's the comparison of barbarians VS cultured Roman citizens. It doesn't matter that he's a Pictish King, he's a barbarian who wipes his hands on his shirt and eats with his bare hands.A lot of people play elves as arrogant. So what? I play mine as conniving backstabbing meddlers who constantly seek to undermine human achievements.</blockquote>
