[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 8251160, member: 36349"] When I was developing my elven cleric I wondered about this. I ended up explaining she aged very slowly about 7.5 years to 1 in human terms emerging from her Feywild home roughly about 13 in human terms (98 years old) by the time she entered the game she was 148 years old (almost 20 in human terms) had been briefly married only to be abandoned when her husband unable to believe she was actually an elf and he was the father of their son. She had to raise their son alone until he enlisted at 16 and she returned to her original career as a cleric keeping an eye on her son and the family he married into. The idea was that she had been reborn, but unlike other elves who had plenty of others to help them she was left alone with a Lantern Archon as a Guardian for most of her childhood and found she could recall her previously lives a bit too much for her own liking. She had to get used to being an exile of her own people such that few if any actually knew about her and was often mistaken as human or half elvish at best when they didn't realize who they were talking to. Those who did either tended to avoid her or showed genuine pity as even her own tribe recognized they were wrong to treat her like they did. Sorry tried several ways of typing this hope I didn't wander too far off the thread of this discussion. Never considered the dwarven version of this. [/QUOTE]
