[QUOTE="DalkonCledwin, post: 5912898, member: 6680145"] I would argue that denying the existence of alternate subspecies out of hand completely disregards the path that evolution would take on a planet. Afterall even on a planet like our own (Earth) there are hundreds of thousands of subspecies of a given superspecies of creatures. Take Dogs for example, there are approximately over 150 breeds fo dog registered with the American Kennel Club. That doesn't even include the breeds that have yet to be registered with the Kennel Club, nor does it include breeds that are not present in the United States. Further it doesn't even take into account Mutts either. So in essence the multiplicity of subspecies is something that happens in the real world, so why on earth would it not happen in a fantasy world on a much smaller scale than it would in the real world. Further, I would be inclined to write up a in depth article explaining the place of Aquatic Elves in the world of E'n. However my desire to write up such an article would be largely dependent on my ability to utilize Aquatic Elves, and possibly some other species of elves such as the Drow, in a possible adventure I am thinking of running in the near future. I wouldn't really be inclined to write up such an in depth article for either race if one or both are disallowed as available races in E'n. [/QUOTE]
