So if Dwarves/Dark Elves live in the Mountains, and Low/Wood Elves live in the woods, where do the High Elves live?

>descovered
They've also learned to spell, unlike humans.

WHERE THEY SHOULDN'T

...

Brother! You monster! What insanity has possessed you?! To kill their hunters and warriors is one thing, but women and children? Innocents?! Have you forgotten the oaths we swore together?!

we should kill elves

im within the oath!

ive always imagined that dark elves live in caves and underground caverns, and that high elves live in mountains.

Kill them all.
Look i started with there king

...

...

We swore to defend hope and peace and righteousness! We swore to defend the innocent! There was no distinction made for men, elves, the merfolk, or even orcs! The order may turn a blind eye, but I shall not! Either drop your sword and face justice, or raise it and face a servant of our god - an armed and ready warrior of holy purpose; not defenseless children!

You all witness this. After I have dealt with this one, you're next!

My setting has 4 kinds of elves.

Dusk elves live in the forests and the caverns. These are elves who have grown attuned to the element of earth over a few generations living in these earth-heavy locales, shaping their mentality and giving their skin a darker hue. They have some cultural differences according to the demands of their environment, but by and large are fairly similar: They have a tendency toward fierce, territorial xenophobia, and a strong insistence on honor and tradition (which usually includes a number of rather arbitrary and odd customs, to outsiders' eyes).

High elves, on the other hand, are so named for their lofty attitude and odd proclivity to build tall towers. They are attuned to the element of air, and as a result are arrogant, impulsive, and creative, but flighty. They can be quite brilliant, but rarely have to follow-through to see a project to completion, so most end up amassing quite the collection of half-finished concepts. All well and good when their creative urges lean toward music, art, and fashion, but potentially dangerous when they dabble in magic or alchemy, making hazardous things that never get all the kinks worked out or even developed to the point of basic stability. Your typical "mad wizard" is often a high elf.

Then there are also the frost elves, basically Viking elves from the northerly coasts and frozen mountain peaks, attuned to water, and nomadic elves, warlike horsemen and herders from the warm grasslands and deserts, attuned to fire.

maybe your right...i might have strayed to far from the truth and made my own ideals about it.

I submit i should relearn my faith.

one more dead elf for the road (pic related)

Actually "to scover" is derived from an elfish word and roughly means to curse something in such a manner that the scovered object, or even the general practise of hygiene, would bring great misfortune and suffering to anyone making use of it. Who exactly scovered combs and hygiene for the elves in the first place isn't entirely certain anymore, there's a case to be made for both dwarves and orcs being responsible, but another theory is that it was a result of a grand elfish spell being miscast that would have made all elves as fabulous as gods.

Either way, the high elves descovered combs and hygiene about 700 years ago, and have been using them to great effect ever since. Many elves are traditionalists, however, and refuse to change their lifestyle simply because the curse is gone. Others refuse for religious reasons, believing that the scovering of combs and hygiene was punishment by the gods, and feel that they must atone by forgoing both until their natural death.

tl;dr user didn't misspell anything.

Meant to link to

Daily reminder that people who unironically post dead elves channel a small part of the faggotry of Virt.

You guys should be ashamed.

who is Virt? could you explain in detail for me?
I hope im not asking to much.

They were both, me.

Obnoxious tripfag nobody liked, got perma banned when he defended FATAL.

And is right, don't make him into another chaos god.

Higher up in the woods. High Elves live in the canopy, wood elves live on the forest floor. There is an actual border that cuts horizontally halfway through whole forests, and entire wars are played out vertically.

Honestly, i don't want to. He was a colossal faggot and disgusting human being.

user, that's great.

>Posting the exact same thing he is replying to
You should perhaps learn to read in the first place.

>Usually
Plains and mountains
>muh setting
A giant Dyson sphere in space.

You-! You spit on everything I swore to defend.

It's clear to me now; you're no mere monster. You don't simply act according to a wicked nature. You take pleasure in it. You take PRIDE in this evil! You're no monster... I can't believe I ever called you 'brother', demon!

Die and be cleansed from this land! Here, your foulness ends! In the sight of God, face judgement! Deus vult!

In what way?

I'm new to Veeky Forums and never heard of this Virt guy.

FUCK OFF and LURK MORE.

It's okay, user. Move along. There's no need to remember him.

I don't even know where to begin.

You shall inherit a better world, young one. Don't be burdened by the scars of old men. But heed history's lesson well, lest you be doomed to repeat it:

Don't be a dick, man.

I was there for you when the cult attacked! as much as it pains me ill fight for my life. because i know ill have what it takes to kill all the evil in this world!

he was bad enough that he got permanently shafted by the hotpocket watch

tl;dr version: He didn't like female elves.

I actually kind of like the vibe I am getting from this drawing, or at least the story I make up for it.
>Elves of all kinds are like native Americans, Aztecs, Plains Indians, Inca, Iroquois, etc.
>Humans suddenly arrive by boats and begin colonizing Elf lands
>Humans start converting Elves to Christianity, oftentimes forcibly
>Humans think that the Elves' pointy ears make them look demonic and as part of their baptism have them cropped to look like mostly human ears

isn't it better to know what evil our ancestors have commented so we can prevent it from happening again?

Please stop. This is embarassing.

Eh, I kind of like it. Besides it isn't like this thread was a good thread to begin with.

>Besides it isn't like this thread was a good thread to begin with
This is for once an elf-thread that asks a legitimate question. What else does this thread need to be of your approval?

>tl;dr version: He didn't like female elves.

Why?

people who dont post shit in it.

Aye, paying attention to lectures is important, but don't bother yourself with the ramblings of old men.

What you've done is go into an old folks home where nobody was a soldier and ask "so how 'bout 'nam guys?".

...

>commented
Veeky Forums has actually been around for so long that there're likely to be posters here whose ancestors also posted on Veeky Forums.

You mean the anti-elffags, right?

Eh, it's another one where the answer is "whatever the hell you decide on it".

Most people are to lazy to look up one specific detail for established settings, so they goof around. Best case you get someone who remembers the answer to your question and is willing to explain while everyone else is still distracting and shitposting.

Quite frankly, High elves/Liusalfar would probably live in the plains and near the cost where wind and sun can easily reach them.

This would probably explain why they have the most impressive cities next to Dwarves/Dökkalfar, since they live in areas that offer themselves to establish port cities and trading posts where travelling merchants cross paths. The high amount of passing travellers probably also means a high exposure to foreign ideas and scientific theories, which leads to an incredibly advanced society.

Concluding from that the High Elves would probably have an extremely rich tradition ground in hospitality and guest right and a very diverse cuisine.

As the general wealth of the High Elves increased and the Elflords became more and more removed from the common man, those traditions slowly faded into obscurity and only small rural communities still practice it.

I'm so stealing this.

In fields of weed....
If you know what I mean

Virt fuck off.

>High elves are Scottish highlanders
>They run around with massive, two handed swords, axes, play bagpipes, and eat a bunch of organs boiled in a sheep's stomach
>And talk like: youtube.com/watch?v=fpexmROALQo

This.

That.

If elves protect the forest, what are they houses made of?

What about their bows an arrows?

Grown through some magic. Though I don't think it happens this often that elves take this so serious.
