Message: <blockquote data-quote="SehanineMoonbow" data-source="post: 8250562" data-attributes="member: 7025612">While I am not a fan of many of the changes MToF did to elf and drow lore (such as being forced to reincarnate because they can only stay in Arvandor for a period of time, as punishment for what their ancestors did), it has been part of the lore for a while that reverie allowed elves to, well, remember. Not past lives, per se, but their current life. Through reverie, an elf can remember events that happened to him/her/them a long time ago. It also helped them connect with other elves. Not in a telepathic sort of way, but, like the dwarves, even though elves are very individualistic, they also view themselves as part of a greater community.The pull and connection to Arvandor is also very strong--MToF kept this to some extent--and, well, if we go by elven legend, they were born of Corellon's blood, so that gives them a connection to their god. Even if you just label it as elven mythos, I believe we can draw some truth from it, at least when saying that the connection between the elves, the Seldarine, and Arvandor is strong, and, as an elf reaches "venerable" age, they start to feel the pull even more keenly, and will start getting their last affairs in order.Point being, it wouldn't surprise me if all this indeed had some influence on elven "innateness" to master things like archery--and I also think it's just a big part of their culture, not to mention the fact their lifespan allows for them to master a number of skills.</blockquote>
