Message: <blockquote data-quote="steeldragons" data-source="post: 6603508" data-attributes="member: 92511">Intrigues in a wood elf society are the same as any other society. In my particular wood elf culture, it would be very rare/nearly unheard of. Wood elves are about the wood elves living in/with the woods and, kind of, "against" anyone from outside/threatening the woods or those in them.But intrigue is intrigue is intrigue, the world over. Jealousy, is always the big one.Someone is jealous of another's love or not being loved by the one they want. Jealous of not being the "first/primary/best" hunter. Jealousy over someone's closeness with the chief.Greed (essentially just jealousy with materialism) over what someone else has that an individual wants: better weapon, better family, better position, more wealth, better liked/respected by the society, magical power, etc...In an magic/D&D world, magical concerns/desires...for the chief's magic staff, the warrior's magic sword, the secret/hidden/magical totem/heart of the culture that they feel should be their power to command/use/abuse. Create a society on the brink of a coup. Torn by religious factions. Torn by policy disagreements. Torn by family lines/feuds. Create a secret society/organization/assassin's guild that wants to overthrow the existing government. Create an influential warrior/hunter/military who doesn't agree with the leader's position of peaceful coexistence with the humans encroaching on the forest and wants to create war/take the battle to the human town. Raiding/banditry on merchants moving through the forest...Who's behind it? The wood elf king is very displeased.The plots and intrigues you can generate for a wood elf society are just the same as any other culture/society.</blockquote>
