[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 1723101, member: 3649"] I usually think of their cities as either Ewok-like treehouses or shaped stone; both will usually follow the 'grain' of the material they're using. Also, ElfQuest influenced me a great deal in this. Their elves have the ability to shape matter; the ones who live in the woods usually shape trees and plants into shapes they can use, while the ones who live in Blue Mountain shape stone. Winnowill could even shape flesh.... The Chaosium RPG had all sorts of interesting game ideas for them.
