Actually Ezindir, I have many doc files that contain much information about all types of elves. I am, however, astonished that you did not ask me first!  Anyways, if you're interested, let me know. |

actually, I've never heard of any mist elves before now. Is that in the Realms, or another world, such as Dragonlance, Greyhawk, etc.?
And if you could direct me to said website i would be most grateful.
One can never have too much elf lore! |

You just dont get it do you. Ask yourself:
1.How long do humans live?
2.Which race are you?
3.Which race look the coolest?
4.Which race have the most subraces?
5.Which race have the fast and cool fighting style?
6.Which race have the coolest weapon profeties?
And you'l soon see that the elfs are coolest nad the most fun  . |

Well said fellow elf, all subraces aside(For now  ). Elves are so much cooler than humans, whether they be drow, or moon elves, or sea elves, no matter what subrace. And talk about horrible deities, YOURS WAS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY INSANE, BECAUSE OF HIS OWN BOOK!!!!!! You will never see a drow god do something so ignorant. |

Hmm...I am familiar with the Bookwyrm, but I know not of this 'Sage of Perth' that you speak...
Anyway, the most impressive FR elven resource that I have found online is the wonderful Cormanthyr section on the Myth-Drannor.net website. It has details on nearly every aspect of Elven culture, and an informed look at the different subraces.

i se your point on elfs being better, but humans are in charge of pretty mouch the whole world and they have more interesting gods as Cyric and Bhaal both grand gods. And a human may Take the path of evil or god but a elf has a lesser choise in this matter.
Byt YOU WIL SE DEAR Shadowlord CYRIC SLAYING THE PUNEY AND LESSER DROWN GODS WHO ARE ALL LESSER IN STRENGHT AND FOLLLOWER, AS YOUR GOD MASK HAS EXPERIEND. Not that mask is a bad guy i think he and Cyric makes a good team. |

How many times di I have to say it? i do not think that the elves are the best to play with in the realms I do simply think they are the coolest okey? Got it? And if you think the Humans are the coolest in the realms becouse they rule the most of it, you are weird. |

So just thought I peep in an leave this note of elven subraces, as far as I have found out.
Aquatic elves.
Avariel.
Drow, or dark elf.
Moon elf, or silver elf
Sun elf, or gold elf.
Wild elf, or Green elf.
Wood elf, or copper elf.
If any info about them is needed just ask and I shall see what I can locate, :-)

As you lift he paper you also see that something is scribled on the backside.
One can also add to this list half-elves, but that is by some considering to cross the line. as for non canon subraces go I have some information on Shadowmoon elves if any one is interested. Also I saw a note somewhere about a sighted Drakken Elf (1/2 drow, 1/2 gray elf) but that most of course be a fleeting rumour. Also a note of Frost Elves could be found, but I must have lost it somewhere. |

I must say that I disagree with you, Ezindir.
1. Humans live about a hundred years, but lets not forget the old Bibelic human, that lived in over 900 years (ex. Noah, Adam and Eve)
2. Human! Thats what makes it fun to play with, you can identify yourself with your Character.
3. Humans look the coolest. No doubt.
4. Elves, but the score is now Human 3 - 1 Elves
5. Dwarfs
6. Rather irrelevant, if you ask me. In "real" life, anyone can practice anything and get good at it.
+ Surface elves are racists.
+ Individual characters are more important than race (ex. Drizzt)
+ Drow are indeed in my opinion the coolest, because of their Evil alignment, and Dark skin.
+Surface elves are too noble |
If I'd wanted your opinion, I'd have told you what it was. |

Well so you think that humans look coolest  , you are pretty strange. And the only character you can identify youtrself with is a lawful, good, human, figther, and thats not cooler than a elf . And if you say that all surface elfs is racists you are an racists yourself. And who other than Drizzt and his father is a good drow? And you cant say that all surface elf are not noble!! An what inn the nine hells!! Do you mean that there is bibelic humans in the realms, and anyway I am talking about the avarage elf and human. And Dwarfs do not have a cool and fast fighting style!! So shut up you stupid human !! |

| Read the Return of the Archwizards series, then you will see how racist and prejudiced surface elves can be, and i'm talking about the happy elves living in Evereska! |

| Well the elfs racism against the drows are being returned well enough, and mr.lee or lie, how can you judge all the elfs as one race and say that it is the inviduals that counts? |

Well met(I'm your biggest fan, Alaundo!!)
Now, don't make a fool of yourself, Ezindir!
YOU are the one saying that elves are cooler! You are the one saying that a race is better than another! I just came up wih some arguments against your case! As for me identifying me with a lawful good fighter man, my human character would be a true neutral (as you no doubt know) mage with 18 charisma  !

Well, when I look at myself in the mirror, I can hardly see that an Elf would beat my looks!
And - Oh, my Lloth! What do I see here? First you say that you're talking about the AVERAGE ELF VS HUME, THEN YOU SAY THAT ITS THE INDIVIDUAL THAT COUNTS????
Whats wrong with you? |

| Well yes I do think a elf could beat your looks, and whitout much trouble as well !! And I do not now so much about the elfs towns, but I still think that their are cooler than humans, but what I realy was talking about is the inviduals. And what do your Lloth think of you liking humans better than elfs? |
