Oh...this thread wasn't what I thought it would be.
Next card: Orcs vs. Klingons.
Klingons would slaughter orcs like they were less than a kobold.
Elves vs. Vulcans

Klingons would slaughter kobolds on sight because they breed like tribbles. Shrills like one, too. ![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
Elves and Vulcans, despite their similar appearances are completely separate and distinct species. Their main similarities are their pointed ears and abundance of hot women. The two races see life differently from humans due to their long life spans, but in many other ways they both have hot women.

Yeah, but which of the women would be victorious in oil wrestling?

I've not done so with Elves, but an old homebrew world I made had the Dwarven culture based heavily upon that of the Star Trek Klingons. Racial alignment being LE rather than LG, but with a strong sense of honour.

In my campaign world, the elves have reverted to how I often see them, LN arrogant isolationists. I've always thought that the whole "CG" thing was BS (compared to the stereotype and how they're often roleplayed). So I made them like Vulcans, kinda, in that they despise outsiders (elven rangers kill those who would cross the border) and are arrogant (cultural superiority:think imperialism). Their decadent (Inca-style) culture has fallen on hard times, as the human empires invade their ancestral lands in search of gold (I just made this part up now, thankyou inspiration) and fame (ala Cortez and the conquistadors). Wow, my most intellectually based post ever !

I've always thought of the elves as so cerebral that they went out the far side and came out like Faulkner only so long lived and powerful that they ran their weirdness through life rather than fiction.
That's how I reconciled the wizardness with the sword weilding and the chaos with the meditation.
Insane mental discipline+
the knowledge you'll get time for the hard questions so you may as well learn to fence cause it's cool+
the overall idea that who cares about lesser morality in the name of really long lasting goods like art, insane family politics, and really cool urban planning strategies+
you might be lawful as all get out internally but when you have the capability of spending a few centuries creating the perfect rope, rope so perfect that harms flawed things, for all intents and purposes you quack like a chaotic duck.
So I guess one thing Elves and Vulcans have in common is that the things that humans see as the fullfillment of their lives work are just sort of things you do along the way. I mean Spock's obviously really good at science and exploration, but it's equally obvious that that's not his main thing it's just one more thing to do on the way to enlightenment. Similarly, joining the Fellowship isn't the big thing in Legolas's life that it is to, say, Sam, it's just very much the right thing to do and doing the right thing is what one does when you're going off to be the perfect elf prince.
