Furthermore, four children is quite small for pre-modern times; if you'd rather, call it 8 children with a 50% mortality rate or 12 with a 66% mortality rate.For one thing, they're elves; they've got the whole in-tune-with-nature thing going. For another, I see no reason why wars with other races couldn't keep the population down. It really doesn't take that much to keep the elven population in check, and the orcs could afford to smash a whole generation of young men against elven defenses to get a few elves and the associated glory.</blockquote>
