So do elves drink just wine or other spirits. I like the idea they make their own booze, namely because the mental image of an elf with a frothy mug overlooking a day's hard work is neat to me.
>>96666029There are a myriad of settings, and yes, you will find many in which they drink. It's often and stereotypically vine. Sometimes imported. Warhammer high elves and some Tolkien elves used to import their vine. It's a bit weird with Warhammer high elves, since they should have the geography and climate to grow good vine.Dunmer have a special booze called Sujamma. Potent stuff. Apparently made out of barley (or a Morrowind-equivalent).Moon Elves from FR tend to party hard and drink, don't know if they grow it themselves.
>>96666029Given the tendency of elves to be long-lived aristocrats (stories of young elvish day laborers being rather scarce), I would expect elf alcohol (elfcohol, if you will) to have a focus on all sorts of cocktails.Imported liquors and mixers from across the world, mixed in extremely precise ratios.It’s a form of showing off. The drinks are expensive, they require skill to mix, and it showcases a refined palette.

>>96665817where dwarf thread
Reminder: The fates of men and elves are intertwined. Pointless shitflinging is how the Lich King wins.
>>96666738Sure. That's why men and elves have to intermix until there's no separation between man and elf.
>>96666738Lich King you say?
>>96665932Don't panic. I'll fix it tomorrow
>>96665805Perfect, a thread full of expert on elf society, biology, and culture. So what do you do with elf slaves?
'member to draw some elves. Everyone's invited, no matter skill level!
>Shitty cringe wojak meme in the OPWell, the thread was good while it lasted. Enjoy your shithole.
>>96665822>No humans in this thread.>all OP-post elves are only known for their lust for human cocks
>>96665932Drizzl is a faggot and doesn't even deserve to be on there. RA Saliva's books are just awful and only remembered as babby's first Forgotten Realms stories.
I have GOT to stop lusting after elves
>>96668080>they're an all-female race>Just don't have elf slaves.
>>96665817Well, I prefer only elves.
Do you let your elf get hurt?
>>96668379That's fine too!
>>96668551Oh good. It's nice that we can clear that up.

>>96667815Yeah, that's exactly the only reason for why they are popular.

>>96674119I have nothing to excuse. The chudjack is a retarded addition and if pointing that out makes you upset it's simply not my problem.

What are the defining features that makes a person recognizable as a half-elf besides freckles and beards?
>>96676165There are two philosophies for elves. They're either short svelt creatures, or tall graceful creatures. So a helf would ideally be human sized.
>helf>hell…>elf…>hell elf!Oi, oi, hold the fucking crystal ball.Is this the reason human-looking demons are often portrayed pointy-eared?If dark elves are what happens when you mind break an elf, are demons then mind-broken dark elves?Maybe people shouldn't be bullying elves after all…
>>96674999As all elves should be.
>>96676165Stronger build and shorter ears. Less expressive, introverted nature>>96676072Believe it or not, Most of Arrianne drawings are not an accurate representation of my art skills.
>>96676596Maybe they just chose to look like an elf to invoke empathy and I-can-fix-it behavior in humans
>>96676596elves and fey ('fairy') were for a long time synonymousfey included anything from banshee to Tylwyth Tegelf itself can mean something like 'evil spirit' (from alp)could go even further back, meaning the white ones (kind of conflicting info here)>which means dark elves would be the 'dark white ones'the devil is also often depicted with pointy ears, I assume it is because of his connection to goats, so he went from an animalistic abomination, to a more human like form, which meant more human looking but keeping animal aspects>like hooves and pointy ears and sometimes a lot of hair The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania by Joseph Noel Paton depicts some fairies with pointy earspic related are actually demons, but it is interesting how they have pointy ears- which, see above, stems from the connection to the devilelves with pointy ears are actually a fairly modern invention>modern invention as like 19th century thingLOTR elves meanwhile were way closer to angels than demons, so going from chaotic, mischievous (sometimes even scary) fairylike beings to 'perfect' human-sized creatures, is a modern invention
what are your favorite games for modern day and sci-fi elves?
Funnily enough, Dutch folklore has a elven character who has more in common with Tolkien Elves in the form of a elven knight who is buddies with Charlemagne, has magical herbs which allows him to talk to animals, can open locks with a touch, and gets to bang Charlemagnes sister after killing her evil husband.
>>96668937I just made some drow brown. But then there are also grey drow and blueish drow and of course, charcoal black drow. All are almost as racist towards each other as they are towards surface dwellers.
>>96676780>bansheeRemember for those that don't know, banshee comes from Scottish "bain sait (pronounced shee)" and simple meant fairy woman. "bain" being woman, an "sait" being fairy. And the plural of "sait" is "sith", though it's pronounced virtually the same. Cait Sith from Final Fantasy VII means "fairy cat" though it uses the improper plural.
>>96676780To be honest, I prefer the old-timey fey elves to modern "humans, but better" or "humans but magic".Tolkien's elves are fine, but I still like more when the chaotic nature of the fey shines through.It gives them a unique personality that can't be summarized as "humans, but x". Fey are entirely their own unique thing.>>96676972>All are almost as racist towards each other as they are towards surface dwellers.Based. I'd like to see a party of such technicolor elves bickering and being racist amongst each other.
>>96676871We've answered that question a billion times already. Why do you keep repeating it puckai?
Sea elves, yay or nay?
>>96677061yay, but why are you posting a mermaid?
You think elves have different accents and dialects depending on where they come from?Like we have British English and American English and a ton of accentsbut I feel when you play or read it, even after such a long time there's never anything newlike elvish just stays elvish, and you never get new slang terms the youth are using, or creole languages where different cultures minglemaybe that's just part of being an elf- like the language not evolving? >Drow is interesting because there's actually Ancient Drow- which I guess is closer to the elven language as the difference hadn't be so well established at that point- now that I think about it, it is a bit weird that suddenly they had drow as a language- like was Corellon also doing a Tower of Babbel and just also decided they couldn't speak elvish anymore, or had to relearn it?
>>96677172Elf=Human with pointy earsSea-elf=Merhuman with pointy ears
>>96677230>maybe that's just part of being an elf- like the language not evolving?Holy shit, let elves evolve, develop, grow, change, whenever it makes sense.What causes dialects to develop? I'm no expert, but I doubt being elves is the problem.If you have isolated elven communities, then they should develop their own dialects.Language is ultimately just one of these things that is somewhat awkward in TTRPGs and therefore often dumbed down.
>>96675738>contributingFuck to tumblr
>>96676871go awai puckai
>>96677422>Being a simple leechGo back to swamp
>>96677045I wasn't around for the answers to those questions, could a faq be worked into the OP and maybe the first post if it gets big?
>>96677524Fuck off to tumblr
>>96677679Yes you were, liar. Not too many other people spamming modern coom slop elves.
>>96677045I haven't seen any good answers hall monitor
>>96677422NTA, but contributing is a 4chan concept. The tourist here is you.
>>96677241technically aquatic elves exist, and they're blueish-green and very good swimmers with two legsbut I guess some of them would, a mermaidkind of like wood elves and dryadswhen you live so close together, stuff happens>what happens in the sea stays in the sea
>>96669884>Woof ElvesDog elves?
>>96677230There are different Elven languages in LotR for this reason. They all had a common language prior to the journey to Valinor. The ones that stayed behind in Middle Earth eventually developed Sindarin and Quenya was developed by the Eldar in Aman.
Painted up the meatshields, I mean faithful retainers, for Five Leagues From the Borderlands.To be fair, they've been the ones doing the heavy lifting the whole campaign. Here they are, in a ruin at night after routing some guerrillas probably.
>>96667815>guardsman becomes space marineI'm a warhammer tertiary, but I thought space marines are trained from the time they're kids?
>>96683352Yes.They're also chemically castrated and violent psychotics.
>>96676669That's bullshit btw. Frieren's demons communicate with each other in language also, not by telepathy or something. In the company of other demons, they use language the same way humans do.
elves as an all-female race BUT it turns out they're not all femalewe're just seeing one village, and the males were all abducted by the fairiesin another twist they weren't abductedthey left on their own accordthey'll be back in one month or soit was actually a deal between the (male) elves and the sylphs, they get the support of the fairies should the village ever be attacked by outside forces, the sylphs get babiesthe elves left behind don't actually know about that
>>96683394another twist: it was all a dream, elves and fairies don't exist and you need to get up and brush your teeth and go to work
>>96683407do you hate fun?
>>96683411yes
Let's post some elf Wojaks.
I have a better idea.
And don't forget about dark elf Wojaks.
>>96683633I find it funny that you can kill her in every (mainline) BG game
>>96683360>In the company of other demons, they use language the same way humans do.No, human language is secondary. Their main method of communication is their constant mana dick measuring.>>96683640
>>96683831Anon...But that's true for nearly all NPCs.Hell, you can even kill the few "immortal" NPCs if you try hard enough.
>>96683916Mana dick measuring communicates only mana dick size, you can't communicate actually messages in it.
>>96684097mana dick size produces the hierarchy all demons are bound to. It is a necessary step for any inter-demon relationship. They will not communicate if they cannot first establish who is stronger and who weaker which means that their dick measuring contest is mandatory and comes first before they actually exchange words. It is primitive, but unavoidable.
>>96684117That's like saying that when talking to someone, opening your mouth is mandatory and comes first before you actually exchange words. But the act of opening your mouth by itself communicates only very little.
>>96684132I don't think it's a valid argument because mouth is a tool of communication while mana dick size is a statement.
>>96684097>t. tiny mana dick
Guys, my elf turned dark and assertive. What does it mean?
>>96685532it means you have a tiny mana dick, absolutely disgusting
>>96665805Nice art. This thread reminds me, I should flesh out and draw art for a Craftworld I made in a roll thread here years ago, Driag-Nahl I think.
>>96685532What system? Who's controlling the elf?
>>96671957This has two of my favorites in it. I have some elf archers from Heresy that I'm looking forward to painting too!You have a fav supplier of elves?
>>96683342Nice minis
>>96685753I thought it was Matt Rhodes picture for a second.You know, this guy who paints Thicc Bikini waifu concept art in Bioware, only for all of it to get rejected and turn into nonbinary bulldykes.
>>96685844Wait, it is Matt Rhodes.It's just downloaded from a blog of some other artist.
>>96685750Who? Me. Well, I thought I was controlling her.
what kind of elf would this actually be going by FR lore? The game lets you pick basically any skin color
>>96686218FR being such a kitchen sink, you can always find a supernatural justification for any one individual having any trait.
>>96686218Sun elf after a beach holiday>reddish eyesmaybe with some drow in there
Desecrated Balduran turned into a gay squid was the dumbest optional plot twist in history of fiction....But I do love drow mommy drag he wore for me.
Comfy.
Space elves with wish granting space dragons.
>>96686243bit lame to lampshade everything though, even if it theoretically is very realistic that there would be outliers>>96686315wild elf seems darker skinned>>96686349having sex with a squidman pretending to be a drow seems gay
>>96686813You just need to meet the right squid man, baby, and you'll change your mind. I bet it'd turn your world inside out.
>>96685532did you put it in the basement and forget about it? In any case the solution is to pin down and reaffirm control
>>96686315>For the last time, it's not black face; it's a divine curs->WHO THE HELL IS "HAM"?
