[QUOTE="Celedhrían, post: 6016746, member: 6700121"] No, Drow are strictly Dark Elves; the usual opposite of the High Elves. Thank you all!!! I really like your answers! Evenglare....I think we could have a relationship :lol::p They are indeed the best of them all! Beautiful, magical; what more could you ask for? (Well, for some of the males to be a little bit more muscular in settings where they're twig-like and other settings where they should be much taller, but hey). Stormonu, I have some of the MERP books, and I have to say that Middle-earth is great!!! (The books are superior as well, of course). I haven't really heard of Elves in Ravenloft and I've heard of the Lathlani from Kalamar, but never got appropriate info on them. I've just been getting into Pathfinder lately and I'm starting to warm up to it (the art style tends to be the biggest turn off for me). I'd like to look into Palladium, Rifts, Shadowrun and Chronicles of Ralmar (for the Sci-fi ones, it's no problem!! I LOVE, LOVE the Eldar from Warhammer 40K, so it's perfectly fine!). Exalted is an interesting setting. I've been looking through the Fair Folk book and am interested in it. I'm not sure I'm all crazy about them being called Raksha and their realm being called Rakshtan (it sounds too much like the Indian Rakshasa; and the Fair Folk are supposed to be based off of European, especially Celtic, faeries/sidhe). It's still very cool, though, and I want to make a character to see what it's like. Like the Fair Folk from Exalted, the Changelings are based off of faeries (at least the Kithain are) from European folklore. White Wolf makes great games, but I guess the only thing you could get close to as a traditional High Elf would be the Sidhe. Also, if talking about Dark Ages: Fae, the Summer Court could be considered along the lines of being High Elvish, but they're more fae than Elf (even though Elf is a Germanic word for faerie, they tend to mean different things in modern fantasy).
