An ancient and magically gifted race which hails from a time and place lying in the past. Their greatest power and glory is passed but they are still in possession of vast resources of knowledge and arcane power. Far from being unemotional and detached their personalities are quirky and intense. They are essentially Fey, creatures who might easily decide they feel like being amused by polymorphing you into a pig for a year and a day, or a bug and pulling your legs off, and who probably don't really think the 'young races' are really their equals. I think THAT race can fit quite well in DS. More clearly than the mundane races they see the ultimate death of the world coming, and they just no longer really care. Eat, drink, and be merry because the world ends tomorrow! Only the eladrin idea of eating, drinking, and being merry is a bit cocked.</blockquote>
