[QUOTE="Benben, post: 1806405, member: 110"] I have 3 types of elves in my current home brew. Heartland Elves: They live in the core culture n my home brew world. Thematically they are based more on the Elves of "Elfquest" by Wendy and Richard Pini. They ride large wolves and domesticated elk. They are comparatively primitive and use the same stats as the 3.0 version of wood elves. As a twist they are the newest races on the planet. They are descended from fey who were attracted to human and gnomish culture and gain souls by interacting with the mortal religions. Heartland Elves took the human and gnomish religion and changed it so that they worship two forces: The Parliament of the Green and the Congress of the Red. This is an abstraction of god and goddess worship to animus and anima. Arkadian Elves: This is a cultural offshoot of the Heartland elves which instead of being fascinated by mortal religion became infatuated with human culture. They have evolved to a highly militaristic culture similar to historically romantic view of Sparta. These elves live on an Island way out of the way for most games and I only bring them in when I need a highly militaristic race as a thematic element. The Get of Corwyndle: There is a small dracocracy that borders the elven lands. This evil dragon is capable of converting normal elves to D&D standard drow elves. This is done my being infected by the dragon's black bile. This dracocracy is where I've put all of the Underdark races: grimlocks, duergar, and svirfneblin as I have no equivalent of it in my homebrew. The culture is a slave culture where individual lives only to support the glory and life of the dragon ruler. [/QUOTE]
