| Not to copy the Return of Shade, but there is a mysterious mythal city in a magical stasis located in the High Forest. There was a comment in LEoF about the Eldreth Velruutha looking into discovering the secret to return Myth Adofhaer to Faerun. I think that there is your 'presto!' way of returning about 10,000+ elves (sun elves, the haughtiest of the lot) back to Faerun. Would they appreciate the diminished power of the Fair Folk? Any NDC comments forthcoming? Please bring back the old school elves! |
In the Year of Risen Elfkin, the Vyshaantar Empire will be reborn out of ruin and retake its rightful position in Faerun. |

The elves that are coming back better be good ones and peaceful type, if they are the sort of pro-war type like the Vyshaan clan elves, short term boost the elven population, yes, but in the long term, might decrease the elven and other races' population if they are the pro-war type.
I think it would be wise to let the Myth Adofhaer stay in stasis, for if the city was plunged into stasis, I am very sure whoever did it had a very good and wise reason for doing it. |

| Actually, I believe the sun elves of Myth Adofhaer wanted to remove themselves from the potential taint of the fey'ri. If that is correct, they would probably be good enough (alignment-wise)to not want demon-blooded taint, and abhor the idea of it. I believe that they would have to think seriously about the current situation of elves before taking any action. Isn't that what elves do, anyway? |

Hmm...perhaps so, maybe they hid themselves from the daemonfey, but first I wonder why would they had to hid themselves from the daemonfey-if-they had a standing mythal and standing army of sufficient numbers and power sufficient to beat the Fey'ri. Whether the elves will consider the present situation first..a likely move but another matter to consider is whether they do wish to adapt to the current situations or would they act like Kymil Nimesin or the Vyshaans. |

If that was the scenario, maybe it wasn't war they feared from the fey'ri. Maybe they feared the fey'ri sneaking in, interbreeding with and/or subverting the people of the city.
Or maybe they just saw a coming war and decided they were going to totally avoid it. |

Oh wait, and Orcs who kill and main and are objectively evil, yes, once again, a very intelligent comment. Obould, I'm sure, will keep them in line.
Oh wait, Myth Drannor - yeah, dumb idea, no idea how to create a real settlement. And I guess elves can't farm, since they existed and prospered long before humans came around.
What a racist statement, Kreen.

Earlanni elves began to teach magic to humans but you know they became legendary through the nether scrolls.
also saying that something isnt a possibility because it would cut profits for the WOTC isnt very realmsian. We have to be able to think beyond profitability and marketing. |

about star elves and their lightbulbs ^___^ what i find weird is that they're drawn with those strange glowing headgears... ok, lightbulbs. but they are not described with them. anywhere i see. i think the lightbulbs are another unfortunate artistic license by wotc's illustrators, like gems on the forehead of some banites or chembryl's blond hair...
also, there's another race of elves you guys haven't mentioned, the lythari (wolf-elves). of course there are also the llewyrr of the moonshaes but i haven't been able to understand what subrace they are exactly, probably wood elves. and then there's the avariel, but i'm quite sure you already listed them. |

| An elven extinction? Why yes, I think it'd be awesome if a few choice elves went extinct, namely those of House Miritar, Melruth, Teshurr (and anyone who helped them). |

| Nah, I'm hopin the windsocks ain't goin away for good, who'd distract them orcs while I sneak up and take care o' them? Anyway the trees are sayin that they like the elves cause o' their frolicking and the personal attention that the elves are giving them. |
If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.

I'm glad we finally got the other Elvesies listed (lythari, avariel, llewyrr?). Slightly off-topic, but was there ever an answer as to which subraces make up the Llewyrr!?
Also, LOTR made elves tres vogue. They're not going anywhere. |

Llewyrrwood is listed as a northern colony of the green and moon elves of Illefarn, and Synnoria is listed as a moon elf sanctuary.
This information is listed within "Serpent Kingdoms" (pg. 186) and the 2e campaign expansion, "Cormanthyr: Empire of Elves" (pgs. 22, 31). |

Elven extinction?
