>>98827536Sun = high elfMoon = also high elf, but more blueBoth are arrogant to the max, but Moon elves are more open to dialogue with other races.

Why do elves hate orcs less than dwarves?
>>98828067They do hate orcs more than dwarves.I don't know what memes you are smoking. Elves can be very fine with dwarves, but kill orcs on sight. That goes especially for FR.
>>98828100I meant less than dwarves do.
>>98827430>puckeeslop
>>98828114Depends on the setting, is the boring answer.In FR, they seem like they hate them even more.In Warhammer Fantasy, dwarves and greenskins fought a lot more and have more reasons to hate each other. Elves and greenskins don't interact that much with each other.
>>98827627>elves make right wing chuds seethe because they're not edgelord enough and are too happy and beautiful for their depressed chud mindsSince when?
>>98827409>"In place of the Dark Lord, you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth. All shall love me and despair!"Elves can be a bit dramatic when they get older.
>>98827627now that's a right wing chud right there if i've ever seen one
>>98827627Elves are inherently Right Wing, dweeb, we love them. If Elves were real you'd be trying to help orcs rape them and claiming that being a pure elf is some kind of inbreeding, so kindly kys.
>>98828350Since ever. fa/tg/uy chuds have been crying about elves being an uninteresting "Mary Sue" race since the board started. It's just calmed down a bit in the last decade because of the plethora of scaley, furries introduced into mainstream fantasy and the redditisation of Tieflings has shown them what actual boring mary sue races look like.
>>98829338Newfags who don't even read posts shouldn't try to revise history.
>>98829409/tg/ has historically been a highly liberal board. I wouldn't say that started changing until HFY rolled around, and even that wasn't an allegory for why racism is secretly good at first, it was just Warhammer fags seething at the bad Avatar.
>>98827380Keep it to the containment thread >>98806314
>>98827627When have any "Right-wing" chud said that elves aren't edgelord enough. Now I know many people have been hating the Californication of D&D elves and all. (From people trying to make elves vegan, or making the "white coded elves" black or be every race but throw a fit if a someone did that to a "black theme race.") As well as the left whining about high-races especially half-elves and half-orcs getting them to get rid of them. (Which made no sense cause half-elves were one of if not the most popular race in D&D.)
>>98829781I like how you threw in a well-established elf cliche in there in order to smear it by association just because you don't like the real world equivalent.Horseshoe theory stays strong.
>>98829773>It's not political >It's right wing Is a right wing person calling something "too political" the equivalent to a left wing person calling it "problematic" or "yucky"?
>>98829812Dude, most elves are based from LOTR elves which they themselves were based off the Norse myths. Also when were "elves" who were known to be skilled HUNTERS with their bows fucking vegan outside of leftists trying to make that a thing in their writing? It's like when Lisa tries to make her own native American tribe and made them vegetarian even though no fucking tribe was and often native Americans themselves make jokes or agree that "vegetarian and vegan" is "indian" for "bad hunter."
>>98829561We are the reliving the good old times, when there were minimum three dumb horny elf threads in the catalog at any given time and guaranteed none of them were about games.
>>98829822Anon you're talking to a bunch of hobby secondaries and pol-counterculture teenagers who got told 'go back to 4chan' on sites like reddit, and just never found /pol/.They have no idea about /tg/ culture and elf-dwarfposting history. They just see tall blonde and attractive, and want to 'kin' them. Because to them, fuckable things being affiliated with their beliefs (and ugly things to contradictory beliefs) is credible validation.
>>98829949"High/Light" elves were traditionally had blond hair and almost "uncanny" attractive with pale/white skin. Though yes when it came to hair they could have red, brown, black or white hair. It wasn't till people started pushing elves should just be a "humans" with long ears like they do for everyone else. They been trying to do it for years but till the 2010 where they got in big companies via HR and DEI. When they try to "KIN" and push that shit they would laugh at and ignored. Though remember if you have a "Black coded" race and want to make a "white" version of that they would call your racist and appropriation their culture. All while they have a fucking black guy in a White culture's Knight costume. It's always one way with them.

>>98829905are you saying that /tg/ has always been like this?
LOOOOOOOOOOOORD
>>98829822No no, bitching about Elves being mary sue or whatever isn't political, people do that across the board.Elves themselves however are right-coded because they're a nakedly superior race of ancient Aryans who typically live in breathtaking magical cities and are irritated that lesser, undeveloped races keep enroaching on their territory. The bloodlines of elves and their fading from the world mirror very closely antique notions of racial purity.So the Elves themselves are inherently right-wing, whereas bitching about them is universal. This is what I was saying.
>>98829905So like... a year ago?For most of the 2010s /tg/ despised elves and had regular elf hate threads while unironically deepthroating dwarf chodes.
>>98836609in case you didn't know noldorfag is a massive newfag that doesn't actually play games
>>98836609There were always lewd threads about them as well.People can hate elves and still sexualize them. The amount of rape porn and fetishistic rape and slavery fantasies around here shows that.And Virt
>>98836609They were also making waifufag threads (elf slave wat do). The idea that /tg/ collectively hated elves isn't right, lots of people liked them. Sometimes just for waifufaggotry, but some people also for more than that.But really, what I was talking about was more like the 2020s. The fact that we had constant, and I mean constant, minimum three dumb elf threads in the catalog at any given time led to the first generation of elf generals. With the difference that we called them generals back then.

>>98839232Elves that obsess about death and dying in battle because they're functionally immortal otherwise goes REALLY hard actually. Like that part of Troy where Brad Pitt is expalining that the gods envy man because man can die, and they choose to risk death in battle.This takes it even further where Elves will live functionally forever UNLESS they go around swordfighting people, but they do it anyway because death is, for them, a fate accessable only through violence. They have to opt-in to face death, and they do it despite having much much more to lose than men.
>>98827627I am sort of chud, and I like elves.
>>98839596The irony of life is that a life worth dying for is more worth living than clinging to life itselfElves are often called cowards because they use tactics like ambushes, lots of ranged attacks, or only fight when they prepare a battle field and create conditions that make victory almost guaranteed. But when you have a race of potentially low numbers but high quality combatants, then minimizing your own casualties while maximizing your enemy's casualties is just reasonable and common sense.But when these elves show up that seek out death, or are absolutely willing to throw their own lives away, then you know shit is on like Donkey Kong.
>>98836312This is what I don't get about humanfags. They always bitch, whine, and complain that other races, especially elves, are uncaring and better than humans, yet they gleefully love media that disrespects elves.
Can Asari be considered space elves, or are they too "different" from typical elven qualities?
>>98827380Elves are the exclusive domain of repressed bi-sexual fantasies with classist under tones. You don't like elves. You're bi curious.
>>98842699But classic elves raped humans so hard (and beastly) that they willingly return to the forest to get raped again.
>>98842734you're only proving my point

>>98829773>Elves are Aryan. They are inherently Right-Coded.You can have brown elves who are overtly North African coded, but they're still right wing chud material by virtue of being elves. Whether they get along with the Aryan elves or have generational feuds with them is up to you.Dwarves are also right wing coded. To get a left wing race you need Nu-Tieflings or some even more exotic sparklefaggot, though it depends a lot on how they're presented and not necessarily on the race and statblock itself.
>>98843489>Elves are right wingSo your saying right wingers are gay? checks out.
>>98843495What, never heard of Yukio Mishima?
>>98843557I dunno, why, is she hot?
>>98843495Yes, like everything else, we're also much better at being gay. Right Wing Gays are philosophers, warlords and visionaries, and they never die of AIDs unless it's Roy Cohn but he got the Rosenbergs the electric chair on the Sabbath which makes up for it.
>>98842699Elves are to white people what white people are to everyone else. It's novel.
>>98844358yeah, their like, rich white people.
>>98844354you fucker making me look shit up on wikipedia at 3 o clock in morning with your bullshit internet lies...
>>98844380I was a bit off, they appealed to try and be executed after the sabbath or some jew holiday instead of on it so Cohn moved the date forward instead of back. But he was the one who pushed most aggressively to get them the chair because they gave nuclear secrets to the soviets.
>>98844354Consensus among legal scholars is that Julius Rosenberg was guilty of being a highly valued NKVD spymaster against the United States, but that his trial was marred by prosecutorial misconduct—mainly by Cohn—and that the Rosenbergs' execution in 2016>and that the Rosenbergs' execution in 2016>2016uhhhh.. wut?also how the hell do you manage to raise half a million shares in a model train company? Either that company was a front of model train business was fucking booming
>>98844420Rosenburg for sure was guilty, but i think he rounded up quite a few guilty with the innocent.Why did he have AIDs?
>>98844434i mean, you know, other than wiki grafitti, if thats the case?
>>98844431then the dude gets convicted of a scooby doo plot to con the elderly, is this shit for real?also i don't want to get busted for talking about off topic nonsense so just keep in mind this idiot started it.
>>98827380Why are the Thalmor powerful again? Like what do they have over every other race/faction that make them a threat that the Empire cries about?
>>98842191Asari are NotTwileks
>>98844434Cohn was himself gay, he got AIDs and died in '86 I think back when it was still a total death sentence. He was also one of the central characters in Angels of America (fictionalized version of him of course) and was basically the best character.Weird guy, definitely the sort who's going to be a popular historical figure in 500 years.
Forsaken Gods has my favorite depiction of Elves outside of the Silmarillion.
>>98843840Mishima was a Japanese utltranationalist who used to hire male prostitutes to watch him pretend to commit seppuku with a wooden sword and throw red confetti around, and he would then orgasm without touching himself and tell the prostitute to leave. (multiple rentboys attest to this story.) Wrote a bunch of books, Sun and Steel being the best known one, and once spent years working out so that he could help carry a big shrine thing in a festival because it looked really miserable and he thought that was awesome and wanted to be miserable too.He later attempted a military coup of Japan in 1970, which predictably failed, and then used its failure as an excuse to commit seppuku (he had been planning this for years) but one of his students fucked up cutting his head off so another guy had to step in and do it, which was kind of embarassing but I'm sure he would've thought it was hilarious.
>>98827380Stick to your general.
>>98844536Magic, nigga. They would have curp-stomp'd the rest of Tamerial if Talos the pretenders didn't use a cheat code.
>>98844536Summerset has always been a powerhouse. They also discovered that it's much easier to tear a multi-ethnic empire apart than it is to hold one together. They separate the provinces by hook or by crook and then work towards the gradual dissolution of the Empire itself by striking where it's weakest. And the Empire has been having a bad time even without their involvement.Morrowind? Fucked by a meteor strike. Total wasteland, no chance of providing aid.Skyrim? Ulfric Stormretard who made his career murdering Talos's people (the Bretons) decides to then break off from Talos's Empire (the Empire)High Rock? One inch away from war with Skyrim for above reasons.Hammerfell? Demoralized over being left out to dry during the war.Valenwood? Switched to the Dominion.Elswyr? Worse than useless, getting sucked into the Dominion is the only loss the Dominion has suffered since the Battle of the Rings.Black Marsh? The less said about this the better.Cyrodil itself has lost the Septim line but could still recover from the war with the Dominion faster than the Dominion could recover from its war with the Cyrodil--the problem is that everyone else trooned out and cut ties one after another or else blew themselves up like retards after the war, so when round two comes along Cyrodil is going to be a smoking husk of a country with no allies, the Dominion will crush them. By this time the Nords will have fought and lost a war with High Rock because they just finished fighting a civil war and haven't been the top military power on the continent since Borgas died, I.E. about 4,000 years ago.Whoever wins that war will then be left with the Redguards and... The Orcs I guess? As the only three people who the Thalmor have to wipe out to complete their subjugation of the mannish races. Then the exterminations start.
>>98845699you re acting like the plan wasnt for the men to pull an epic comeback out of their ass and show those evil nazi thalmor what's whatbut well with the mummification of the franchise who know what they ll cook up now, 15 years and at least 3 dev iterations later
>>98845730I don't think it was, I tend to lean towards the schizo interpretation where this is a metaphysical war by the Thalmor to undo the Convention and destroy Mundus, which would then let them soft reboot the franchise and just remake every older game but this time full of memberberries and more sanitized. I think the Thalmor are going to win canonically, but then instead of reality staying fooked it will just start over.
>>98845753if they wanted to reset the franchise then they should have simply made the end of skyrim the inevitable win by akatosh and the coming of a new kalpa.After all we are canonically living on borrowed time rn.I think world altering designs have never wielded good results in the elder scrolls, see every previous game and lore, so even if the thalmor won they would face some complication which would fuck things up even more for them
>>98845470Are the mages guilds in Oblivion and Morrowind shit or something? What does the Thalmor have that give them advantage? is it just doctrine, like does the empire not value magical prowess?>>98845699Yeah I can see the Cyrodil, Skyrim, and Morrowind not being in the best shape currently and that divided they are weaker than the Thalmor. But it goes back to my question, why are they stronger in the first place? It's not as if the dunmer don't have magic, or want to be ruled by highelves right? Do the Thalmor have the numbers to occupy these newly conquered lands? Same with the Nords. Sure they're weak and divided and likely to not work with the Imperials, but they'd still resist no? There would still need to be an occupation.Are the Thalmor unique in that their country/people completely unified? I don't think so, right? Some highelves don't support them? Do they have advanced technology? Do they have superior magic that other people don't have? Do they have large numbers? Is their military more professional and disciplined? Do they have superior weapons/armor? I'm just confused on why one country seems to be such a boogeyman. The empire has beaten them before, they could do it again. Perhaps not able to conquer the Summerset isles again, but surely able to at least defend Cyrodil and lead into a cold war status with 2 superpowers on the continent.And it's pretty clear that they wouldn't be able to do anything in the Black Marsh, but do they even care about it?
>>98846065>Are the mages guilds in Oblivion and Morrowind shit or something? What does the Thalmor have that give them advantage? is it just doctrine, like does the empire not value magical prowess?The imperial battlemages at least up till skyrim were the strongest military force of wizards in the whole of tamriel.Ignore the retard screeching. The empire that has created the mage academy with thousands of mages all over is filled to the brim with magic.
>>98846065They weren't really stronger in any regard except that they have a powerful navy and are an island. In the big war itself, the Altmer "won" a negotiated peace in which they got one thing they really wanted (end of Talos worship) but lost their entire army and whoever their big commander guy was. The Empire would have recovered faster, which is why the Dominion is now trying to dismantle it province by province through covert means.Bear in mind, the stated Dominion goal isn't to conquer anything, per-se, they don't openly proclaim any intent to conquer Morrowind or Skyrim or Black Marsh--and they probably don't even want that, they have their own deep-plot objectives that go well beyond mere conquest, depending on whose theories you believe they might just be trying to imminatize the eschaton by undoing the Convention.With the Septims gone, the provinces were all uneasy with the future of the Empire anyway. If the Empire dissolves, Summerset has no real constraints on its hijinks anymore, and there's nobody left to stop them from whatever the plot of the next TES game is. Still betting it's highrock.
A reminder that the Altmer had no problem with leaving the rest of the world alone, but Talos the pretender decided he had to be a dick.
>>98844354Anon this 14 year old chest-thump shit is why people call us retards.Find an actual conservative academic of repute, like Tolkein or Saavedra, instead of kinning random historical dramatis personae you think look cool.
>>98846600Let's be real, there were times when Altmer wanted to conquor the world, but it's not that era. They just wanted to be left alone and then Tiber pointed a reality-denying robot at their island. The current Thalmor are the result of mannish aggression.
>>98845470>rest ofNobody stomps Black Marsh, anon. The guy with the cheat codes to all reality couldn't do it, he just built some fortresses around it and declared it conquered. When the Oblivion Gates were opening Black Marsh didn't get invaded, it invaded Oblivion.Don't fuck with the lizards.
nice
>>98848960you mean dont fuck with the sentient trees hive mind that has somehow managed to crack the god of not getting recycled between kalpas and is here from the previous kalpa
is Noldorfag back?
>>98827380How many kinds of elves is too many? And do you prefer the differences to be largely cultural, or do you like them more as distinct subspecies?
>>98850376Three, maximum five.Two if you are a cool guy. I will not elaborate.>And do you prefer the differences to be largely cultural, or do you like them more as distinct subspecies?I feel like "cultural" works better in wargames, where the differences can be articulated by a different unit composition, tactics, gear, monsters, spells etc. Distinct subraces work better for TTRPGs so that each subrace can offer something unique and is not just a slight variation of starting skills.

>>98846274The Psijic Order shits on the imperial battlemages (disregarding the fact that a lot of the historically important imperial battlemages, as in the highest magical position in the Empire, were Psijics or Psijic-adjacent too) and could literally do what the Thalmor want to do to the world whenever they felt like it, without anyone else being able to do shit about it, but just don't, because they don't care about world domination or reversion of Mundus.
>>98858765He got defeated by them, though.
>>98858971I fucking love that manga.

>>98859783these are the best elves ever
>>98861617It has been downhill from here.
>>98846373Naarfin, holy shit it's been like three days, the Altmer commander was Naarfin.It's explained specifically that the Elves lost a bunch of veterans and their experienced officers, so they weren't going to recover from the war any time soon. Naarfin in particular got starved to death in a cage and may or may not have been absconded with by Daedra afterwards, so he might come back.Also depending on what interpretation of the lore you believe there might be the whole Towers thing going on. In the Dragonborn Prophecy it specifically says that Snow-Throat the Tower of Skyrim was destroyed by Ulfric, which would mean that if the Thalmors' plan is to destroy the Towers and undo the Great Convention then they actually won in Skyrim no matter which side "wins" the civil war.This is one of the reasons I was positive the next TES would have to happen in High Rock, because the Adamantine Tower is there.
>>98850376There was a /tg/ game from a few years ago with like 6 Elf types, and even humans were implied to be a type of Elves. Each ones' immortality was contingent on fulfilling some kind of regular practice and the implication was that humans had forgotten theirs, hence being mortal.
I'll drop my worldbuilding on elves here.* Pure elves are not a playable race. Humans with exceptional magical qualities, however, are assumed to have elven ancestry. * Elves live on pocket dimensions they created magically long ago. They "folded in" territories on the map, effectivelly shrinking the earth in a way that cartographers cannot notice (The fold spell is available at lower level in the spell list, but I don't want to get into that now). One can only get into their kingdoms by crossing consecutive secret doors which may look no different than the space between any two trees. Curiously, getting out is done by walking in a straight line in any direction.* Non-Elves cannot spend much time into the elflands. They are magically expelled by some force. IDK. It is important for me as a GM and for them as fictional people, as every day you spend in there is a whole season on the outside. Half elves might bypass this... if it benefits the plot hahahah. I'll think about it.* Elves play the role of minor gods. Entities akin to the Morrigan or Epona, who have met heros in the ancient times and peformed their own deeds, are actually elves. They have magical powers, greater than any other race by various levels, and the most famous of the elves are known on the human and kobold lands through legends and tales. The difference on how time runs between kingdoms allow elves to do things like speak you about your ancestors, know ancient lore or keep ancient relics, waiting for the chosen ones to appear in the land to inherit them. Elves are, this way, very useful as GM toys, while conserving the mysticism that makes them magical.* The chance that an ancient being (such a powerful spirit of someplace) has heard of a specific elf is very high, if the elf is powerful enough. Ancient beings know each other from the good old times.
>>98863242* "Mook" elves exist. They do patrol the human side of the forest sometimes, because even if their kingdom is "folded" into it, it is still somehow in the forest. Things that happen outside elfland will have an impact inside it. Intense deforestation or a plague will permeate elfland. The forest burning down will also destroy the part of the kingdom folded inside it. * Elves are mortal and can die of normal means, their longevity is tied to the time distortion on their plane. They prefer not to spend much time on our plane for that reason. It is for this reason that their manners are kind of old-fashioned. They regard knights and knightly customs as the noble institution they were in the past, even if modern times have devaluated the concept amongst humans. This all came to me because of this mtg card, in which some elves are enacting a knighthood oath like if they were imitating some humans they once saw.* Some times, elves renounce to their life in elfland and come to live into the world of humans. Sometimes its for love, or others its to fulfill sinful desires using their powers amongst people who are mostly magicless. Lust, power, greed. If they have dipped into the dark arts, they may be also impulsed by their dark patrons. It's important to distinguish that, while elves seem inmortal to humans as they live on another timeline, they are not inmortal on theirs. So, vain elves are still interested on unnatural prolongations such as lichdom or vampirism. * There are many entrances to elfland in many forests, rivers or shores, and they all connect with each other. Elves absorb Undines, Swan Maidens, Drow, Valkyries and Dryads into their ranks conceptually. The times of running elves as just druidic hunters have passed, I like the new elves better.
>>98863242>>98863252Pretty cool.
>>98829894>Elvish supremacy thread>associating elves with the losers of the worldTerrible image that does not suit the message of this thread. It should instead be a proud ranger of the Union of Socialist Elves defeating a disgusting Orkmacht soldier.
>>98862209>tfw u never be as cool as feanor:(
>>98850376Just high elves and dark elves, maybe a third if really necessary. Any other subdivisions should just be largely cultural.
>>98870775>high elves and dark elvesnow I feel that even that division should be cultural. Elves change generation very slowly, they should not have much timespan to have "subraces". At most, they descend from two branches from an original elf clan
>>98866765>tall>blond>no facial hairI still don't get why everybody classifies the elves as the magic & wise race when they are typical nordics, they should be the barbarian race by default
>>98871876>typical nordics>no facial hairfascinating what you make of 'nordics'you're aware the missing beard (and also body hair) is meant to symbolize youth? something elves have an abundance of, because they either age slower or don't age at all once they hit their twenties?`>Pathfinder has one elf with a beard he's REALLY old
>>98872229>fascinating what you make of 'nordics'I mean, none of my danish/swedish/finnish friends have a beard or the ability to grow one, and the women I know from these region complain about it so ?>you're aware the missing beard (and also body hair) is meant to symbolize youth? something elves have an abundance of, because they either age slower or don't age at all once they hit their twenties?`I mean, depiction of the elvish equivalent to 40 year olds are mostly beardless, and the oldest ones have beards akin to the beard of old vietnames : what you would have if you kept growing your facial hair from when you started puberty
I use lots and lots of elves in my game, but I give them animal ears and animal tails, while reserving the traditional knife-eared look for half-elves.I have been doing this for years, and it has been seemingly well-received.
>>98827598This but female

>>98873355>it has been seemingly well-receivedby who?
>tfw no Dunmer gf to call me racial slurs
>>98882178Sadly Noldorfag has ruined Dunmer with his spam faggotry.
>>98827380currently writing my Elf Lore.Designing their Spiritual System. I'm not going to force them into reincarnation, because I hate Karmic Systems like that.But then if it is voluntary, there's no guarantee that they'll populate the worlds again.I'm also considering having them devolve into Humans if too many unsouled generations go by. Writing lore right now.
personally I get a bit annoyed at the idea that people expect you to make 'Asian Elves' and 'Black People' Elves. When the Elves I want to make just have white facial features. I'm not racist, it's a taste thing. Aesthetics. Taste. Congruency.
>>98882301Alright, maybe I can make Black Elves with Blonde / White Hair. That's a cool subrace aesthetic. They could be Volcano Surfers.
>>98882301fuck them over by having elves be only native americans or inuits
>>98882368counts as asians
>>98882548indian then ? technically asian but no one would want to play that
>>98877630That's not how you Elf Supremacy.
>>98882884For me, it is. I'm a human who wants to taint my bloodlike with dunmer baddies.
>>98871742Depends on the setting really. Your dark elves could be pretty instantly changed into another subrace of elf by the corruption of whatever evil god they worship.
>>98882884Reminder that in Elder scrolls, children are always the race of the mother. So if all Nords got a Dunmer GF then they would breed themselves out of existence. Dunmer women are nymphos too, they'd do it.
>>98884996>Dunmer women are nymphos tooThey aren't.This is like the tower bullshit: people that don't read the source material just regurgitate what they heard on the internet.The Real Barenziah outright rejects this idea. I know you want to quote it. Read the whole thing. The other source is joke books from Daggerfall-era lore when dunmer were just regular dark elves. Morrowind turned them into staunch traditionalists and spiritual extremists. Weirdos for sure and no prudes, but Veloth went on his exodus because Summerset got too hedonistic for his taste. You will have a hard time actually finding dunmer NPCs in the game that display such behavior. You'll find lewder humans there.At best, it's a stereotype that other races have of them. Or wishfull thinking.
>>98885019>t. ashlanderReminder that the ending of the words is ALMSIVI. And Azura is shit.
>>98859836>>98858971Sauce?
>>98885019>Veloth went on his exodus because Summerset got too hedonistic for his tastemales be limp prude religious right idiots is exactly why the women would become nymphos
>>98885507Except they didn't.They still worshiped Mephala as one of the good Daedra, so some sicko shit was surely going on. But there is nothing indicating that dunmer women are more promiscuous than other races. You just got this from the internet. That's not an opinion that you formed from playing the games and repeat like a mindless idiot.
says the totally have played Morrowind back when it came out LARPer
In at least one of the World configurations in my lore, I'm going for the Jak and Daxter and Zelda vibe of "There are no Humans here. What's a Human?" where the normal people are Elves.it's kino.
>>98854172Elves in TES believe that they are the devolved descendants of the gods who got trapped on Mundus by Lorkhan and are pissed they can't rejoin the realm of pure magic
>>98844536>Thalmorwait, so the best storytelling flex TES could came up with post Morowind is that elves are really nazis?fuck this shit, glad I ignored the later games due to lack of time to waste
>>98885019>Citing The Real BarenziahI might take you more seriously if you could get your source could get it dates right.

write-up of the elves from a friend's fantasy setting>Few peoples of Theosica possess a history as ancient, fragmentet and shrouded in mystery as the Elves. Long-lived, with some reaching ages of seven and a half centuries, in rare cases even up to a millenium, they preserve convictions, memories, traditions and records extending far beyond the lifetimes and reach of most mortals. Yet even their eldest can scarcely distinguish the most ancient histories of their people from mere myth and legend.>Today, Elven communities are scattered throughout the known world, mostly concealed beneath the earth as the Great Sundering has taught many to fear the sun, or within remote and inhospitable lands. They can be found beneath the Stormwood Isle and Draconis Insula, among and below the heights of Mons Maledicta and Rerra Caeli, throughout Magna Silvia, and near the southern reaches of the Lahiyaton Mountains.>Some maintain contact with neighboring communities, exchanging knowledge and preserving traditions across generations. Others have remained isolated for so long that their customs, beliefs, identity and even understanding of their own origins may differ profoundly.>Though diminished in number and largely removed from the affairs of the wider world, the Elves are far from a single, uniform people. Their societies preserve countless different ways of life, shaped by their surroundings, their memories, fervent, sometimes blind trust in their gods and the histories they believe to be their own.
Fun part about making Elves, is making Elven Subraces.
>>98887767I hope you still make them incredibly racist towards each other, but they join together to act all snobbish towards non-elves.
>>98888062In my setting, usually it's the Non-Elves who are trying to be Killjoys and snobs while the Elves are tryna have a good time!
>>98887767actually, the fun part of making elves is the sex
>>98885576tried to make it myself but it didnt work. In the practice, players assume elves are basically human and you end up with no elves. I think its impossible to do that organically>>98893185true
Filthy stank creatures never shoulda came back through the circle
My Elves got LONG EARS.We don't have those little subtle pointed ears. We got long ears.
>>98895560how long
>>98899221I still need to remember exactly how long. But long enough to make them look poignantly whimsical.
>>98895560Night elf long?
>>98895560There's the upward pointy long ears, and then the sideways vaguely droopy long ears. To me this is like the Elf equivalent of epicanthal folds.
I don't think most anons are aware of the topic.
