[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 3549657, member: 2020"] I didn't bring this up before, knowing someone else would. Of course, elves are often racist, bigoted, or even extremists. They think themselves better than all the other races. This attitude has not worked for the illithid, who are much more powerful than the elves and free of any moral restraints, not to mention the illithid work as a tightly knit team. So obviously it doesn't work for the elves. It DOES eliminate the possibility of alliances, isolates the elves militarily (ala Qualinesti or Celene) and makes it amazingly easy to squash these tree-huggers (Turrosh Mak will crush Celene come the next major war ... he already controls their southern and eastern border, their allies are estranged, and Keoland has problems of it's own.) Exterminate the other races with extreme prejudice? Hehe. :) That sounds like the Daleks. In the 3rd IR, the elves actually tried just that. EVERY OTHER RACE on Toril allied against them. End of the elves of Realmspace. What I'm really trying to say is that, the elven attitude makes a bad situation worse. If it was hard for them to cope with the outside world before, it is much harder yet now. [/QUOTE]
