Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gez" data-source="post: 1794493" data-attributes="member: 1328">Spoiler for my next homebrew:Elves and dwarves are in fact a single race. All elves are female, for a male elf is a dwarf. And all dwarves are male, for a female dwarf is an elf. Given the extreme sexual dismorphism in the species, in body as well as in attitude, both genders have trouble living together, and prefer to build segregated settlements, usually within one or two days of travel of a settlement of the other gender.Dwarves work all days, mining and smithing and cutting and making all sorts of pretty, shiny things -- including pretty, shiny warhammers and pretty, shiny waraxes with which to slaughter those pesky goblins.Meanwhile, the elves prance all days, getting serious only when they study magic. Oh, they work, from time to time, but not a lot. They harvest fruits and roots, they hunt a few animals, they weave baskets or do other woodworks. They also trade with humans the work of their dwarven husbands in exchange for food. Then, they exchange with the dwarves that food for more dwarven craftmanship, in monthly tradefest during which the dwarves come to the elven settlement and bring their goods. It's also during this busy tradefest that they bring back with them dwarfboys in age of learning to work, and hopefully make a few more children.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />But regardless of that, yep, them elves rely on the dwarves (or humans, or gnomes, or other races interested in mining, but relationships with kobolds are usually tense) for their precious mithral. As for how it is made -- I suppose they buy mithral wire, like there are copper wire, and weave the mail.<img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/dmg35_gallery/DMG35_PG221_WEB.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
