[QUOTE="The Green Adam, post: 3574633, member: 50821"] QFT Blessed be he who is BlackMoria. :) I sit here is horrified awe of "Elves would be this way, Elven society should be that way and Forests kingdoms can't support such and such." Does anyone recognize the second word in the title "Dungeons & Dragons"? It's Dragons. Say it with me...Draaa-guns. They don't exist. They were made up. Made up stuff can be anyway you want it. Yes, the Mongols were a people who did x,y and z and lived a certain way. Elves never lived and made a kingdom on the real world Earth (that we know of, heheh). It is fascinating to read the different views and cultures we are all [B]coming up with[/B], but none of them are the official D&D word of law. The whole point of D&D is that it doesn't have a set background. It isn't Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones or Terry Goodkind's books. It's basically generic fantasy role-playing. You the individual DM and players forge your world. You can use a known setting if you like but it has no bearing on the next book in the series. Percieve Elves are inferior? Make'em cool. Thing every is out to get them as their civilization declines? *POOF* Everyone is friends and it's on the rise. It just amazes me that we would argue the detailed of a species that is not only fictional but not truly detailed in the Player's Handbook. Please. DO you think I would let my Elves walk around looking like Mialee?? :confused: [/QUOTE]
