[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7356904"] Dark Elves? Dusklings? Shadow Elves? Winter Elves? I mean, are there any competing elf tribe names we can't use? Are we keeping the general cave-dwelling, matriarchal, evil elves theme going? I made them Swamp Elves in one setting, but that was because there wasn't an "underdark" there, or any of the standard D&D gods. I also replaced Drow with Desert Elves once, kinda mashing up Persian culture and Drow culture into one thing. The Night Elves are substantially different from the Drow, retaining only certain general themes (priestesses, female goddess, matriarchal). WoW now has the Nightborn, who are probably closer to standard D&D Drow (or were until they had a revolution). I don't think "Night Elves" is copyrightable outside of the context (IE: if your Night Elves didn't look like Blizzard's Night Elves there wouldn't be a legal problem). Personally, K.I.S.S.
