[QUOTE="dead, post: 1523310, member: 18707"] This still doesn't tell us if an elven woman is pregnant for 20 years and in labor for 6 months. I think the whole idea of elves living long lives is the fantastical theme of "eternal youth". It wasn't meant to be analysed too logically but in my game I'd have elves initially grow at a "normal" rate (ie. like humans) but progressively slow down in growth. So . . . it might take them 20 years to be a 10-year old human; 50 years to be a human teenager; 100 years to be a human 20-year old. After that, elves would "forever" look the same. You would never see an wrinkled elf granny, for example. If you were lucky, you might see one with a few grey hairs but she'd have to be 300+. [/QUOTE]
