[QUOTE="Scarbonac, post: 3018129, member: 9129"] Elf. I, too, take isue with the way that elves have been portrayed in the various novels, particularly those friggin' [I]Dragonlance[/I] books. Prior to them, I don't recall anything in the various texts that indicated that elves as a whole were arrogant dicks. Grey elves may have been arses and Wood elves were somewhat isolationist, but that didn't matter for the longest time [i]because you couldn't play one[/i]. Drow were just [I]monsters[/I] and Aquatic elves were [I]useless[/I], so who cared [i]what[/i] their attitude was? Then along comes Dragonlance and everyone assumes that because DL elves are colossal jerks, that [I]all[/I] elves are colossal jerks. The High elf was a pretty mellow breed, venturing out into the wide world to see what they'd been missing back in their treetop forest citadels. And what happens? They take the brunt of the guff that Greys and Woods more rightly deserve. "Oh, youse elves is so arrogant" and "You obnoxious pushy elves think you're so hot" and "Go back to your forest before we burn it down, [I]elf[/I]!", makes me just wanna say "Hastur Hastur Hastur" in frustration! ...oops...
