ok, i must say that all my "knowledge" comes from JRRT. but here're my highligths
note the "
- Elves DO consider themselves the most important sons of the creation. they are in fact the first and more powerfull race of all, whereas their "inhability" to die should be their worst attribute.
- Elves are indeed racist in their way, and mostly on middle-earth. this is very much induced by the restriction of bondage between elves and men, which is imposed from illuvatar himself *ejem*
-elves are as a matter of fact very aggresive and bloodthirsty, as the first and most savage wars where fought between elves themselves.
-elves tend to reproduce very very very little, and this is very closely related for their lack-of-dying thing. this also tends to some kind of elitism where hierarchies are more important. (big branched family trees tend to loose cohesion)
i want to stop a second in this one for a sidenote: i've read of immortal elves with 1 or 2 sons/daugthers.
something is *odd* there. really.
because, if you think about it, being immortal totally changes things. you wouldn't care if you cannot feed them, or bathe them or take care of them because hey! they won't just die easily, and they ll mostly live on bark if trained properly.
so, they could have like tons of kids. statistically, it would happen sooner or later.
but no. 2 kids in 5000 years.
it's not that they would all be gay because you would totally go either way sooner or later. (500 years. think about it. No, don't rant. 500 long long years.)
and in the times you think about the opposite sex, you should at least score some kids. I mean. if i lived for 1000 years, i would have at least 100 kids
(being that the number of times i got some. that's a great number, right?? yes? i'm the fonz, yes?)
sooo ANYWAY, elves would tend to be facist, with some similarity for the Isaac Asimov's spacers.
i'd like to have the Illyriad elves to be orgiastic creatures of the woood that would have anyone with a tongue.
*edit*
on a final note, i don't know if i would offend anyone with the gay joke because i don't know how sensitive is the theme in other countries.
if that would be the case, please note that it's not even a gay joke, and it's REALLY not the point.
but just in case, excuse me for any offensiveness of the comment. not the intention.
