hello, I have a lore question. In Elves of Evermeet, it mentions an elven house by the name of Alenuath, yet it mentions it is a silver elf and yet at the same time a gold elf house. I am wondering, what subrace is it? sun or moon?
Here is the quote that I am referring to. Thanks for any help I can get.
"The members of this Silver elf house are scattered throughout Evermeet, for they are hunters, rangers, and loners. These are unusual qualities for the gregarious Gold elves."

| Hmmm, good question. Maybe go ask Ed? That house isn't one of the houses that existed, or was detailed, in the Cormanthor sourcebook, which I was using to see if it had more info. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| I'd assume that the Gold reference was supposed to be Silver. The description also mentions Silver elf servants, which seems more likely (to me) for a Silver house. Even more importantly, page 101 of the same book describes Shanyrria Alenuath, an NPC bladesinger -- and she's specifically described as being a Silver elf. |

| I see, I thought the concept of sun elves that were known for rangers and adventures in the mainland was a neat idea. Since this is about sun elven nobles, can anyone tell me about the nobles of the city of Ruith? Elves of Evermeet doesn't give much help there, but then again it mentions all the nobles at the capital. |

Elves of Evermeet is the best source, unfortunately. There might be mentions in the Last Mythal trilogy or in the novel Evermeet, but I'm not recalling anything. |

Try eBay (as Fillow suggests), alibris.com, abebooks.com, or Amazon.
I've got three copies, myself. One hardcover, one signed paperback, and one unsigned paperback.  |
