[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9004903, member: 6704184"] Crossroads/Chevar/The Nine Realms [B]The Alfar Vidalfar -[/B] The name means Wood Elf, essentially, but forest elf is perhaps more apt. They are descended from vaetr or spirits of the land associated with trees, plants, the sun, and growing things. They can speak to such spirits still, and are very magical, and tend toward expressions of beauty and lively revelry, but can be quite dangerous at need. Vidalfar tend to speak a form of Sylvan that is related to the ancient Norse and Germanic languages structurally, but whose vocabulary is more musical and meandering. The lord of a group of Vidalfar is called Freyr, after the ancient deity who took them under his protection millennia ago and became the first Lord of the Alfar, before the Alfar split in two. [B]The Myrkalfar[/B] - literally translates to murk elf, what it really means is more like “hidden night elf”. These elves are descended from spirits of the hunt, hunting creatures, the moon, and the night. Myrkalfar are athletic, competitive, nocturnal, and tend toward matrilineal geneology and social politics. They are more direct and practical than their cousins, and tend toward physical pursuits. Both groups are hospitable and welcoming, and deeply social, meaning they rely on eachother and think in terms of the group. The world has no [B]orcs[/B]. [/QUOTE]
