[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8086120, member: 93670"] Then why are you not willing to let them be separate instead of repeatedly trying to shoehorn one world's lore into incompatible worlds rather than adjusting the thing you are moving to fit the world you are moving to? It appears that you went from let the settings be separate to "give variant options to join the settings" without pausing to admit that options that fit each should exist or that joining should be done by making the thing being moved fit the setting it's moving to before moving. There's not really any reason for an eberron elf (aerenal or vaerenal) to relocate to theanis that does not apply equally to someone of any other species. The ties you cite are not significantly different between us & [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus)']lucy[/URL], but outside of researchers the number of people moving to Ethiopia because of Lucy being discovered there is almost certainly a vanishingly small number. The elves of darksun?... yea.... nothing like FR's tolkein with the serial numbers partially filed off & I got into where they came from earlier but that's less important for darksun because their origin has little to do with how they fit the darksun setting where they are completely reshaped by the fall of civilization during a period of mass genocides that reshaped everything else. [spoiler="honest not similar"] 2e dark sun campaign setting [ATTACH type="full"]126101[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] Elves are skilled [I]warriors & outsiders [/I]in every setting but only tolkein inspired plot armor linked to the fey/feywild in a trio of clonestamp settings (greyhawk>fr>mystara). The plot armor does not cross settings [/QUOTE]
