Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 2817568" data-attributes="member: 22424">Yeah, I ran that very plot some years ago.I went through a phase with my homebrew that I wanted to remove all traces of TSR IP from the world, including such things as beholders, illithids, and drow. Of these, the only ones that couldn't easily disappear were the drow (or my equivalent thereof). So I had the dark elves and (my equivalent of) the grey elves engage first in a truce, and then full reunification.Shortly thereafter (about 20 years in-world), the reunited (and extremely xenophobic and insular) race performed a ritual to reclaim the ancient immortality of the elven people that had been lost when the race fractured. It later emerged that the price of this ritual was the lives of the children of the race, and their ability to procreate.The setting has now had the timeline advanced about 500 years. The reunited elven race has now disappeared. The occasional drow is still encountered, but these are an oddity. And something has gone wrong with my 'regular' elves, the ones who had nothing to do with the immortality/reunification of the dark/grey elves. For the past century, no new elves have been born, although their elders remain very much mortal.</blockquote>
