Dark Sun elves. They are kinda cool for being nomadic runner elves, but their abilities just suck. A bonus to bows and longswords BUT ONLY IF FASHIONED BY THEIR OWN TRIBE, very restrictive. A surprise bonus only in the appropriate terrain. Also, - 2 CON and - 1 WIS, but that's just Dark Sun being more trigger happy with maluses.

I had this fun lore idea where wood elves are the result of orcs constantly capturing elves for sex slaves which would eventually have resulted in the upper class of orc society being composed entirely of elves who regard their orc underlings as unorcy.

fun as a duojin epilog gag I suppose.

What's actually usable is a human culture getting conquered by elves that largely replaces the native aristocracy and rules for so long that all the imported customs and identity of the elves is seen as stereotypical for the humans, the language has morphed into a hybrid of the old human and new elven and proper behavior for the humans is based of elven customs with the actual human customs being seen as backwards and provincial.

This is just Dambrath but with orcs instead of humans, the elves not being the colonizers, and with less intermixing.

Also my thinking was that that would partially explain why their elvish elite soldiers are so elite, since they combine elvish discipline with orc aggression. (Biologically they're basically 100% elf.)

Nice projection, but you've yet to produce any official statement that Iliyan Nastase has ceased to exist, though you seethe about him every thread.

He's now Illiyanne Natasé, a regular eldar farseer.
There is no "official statement" because nobody gives a shit about Nastase, outside of desperate waifufags that cling to ancient Rogue Trader lore. When the setting was very different in many regards.
40k has changed, a half-eldar are unthinkable as Astropaths within the ranks of the Space Marines. That shit would never fly.

Seriously, what do you want? Some blurb somewhere stated by John GW stating "sorry, Nastase has been deleted from the lore!" In what fucking rule or armybook do the writer outright state "retconned"? This is fucking retarded. The guy hasn't been relevant for decades. Let go.

Okay, then give me one canon source of Illiyan Nastase being mentioned once in the past 30 years.
Also, give me another example of a half-xeno from recent lore that the Space Marines allowed, not only within their ranks, but also to be a fucking Astropath.

I'm surprised Dambrath never made a bigger impact on world building trends. The Crinti regime is the sort of thing that would happen all the time if multiple fantasy races actually lived in the same world.

Dambrath however had a large human slave population
Also the ruling class was half-Drow because their leaders
>The loviatar priestesses
Decided to fuck over the past leader basically delivering the country to the Drow on a silver platter
The Drow got human slaves and the ladders got drow boytoys
Everyone won. Except the humans
And now wotc decided we can't have that and eradicated their history, because we can't have interesting world building anymore

I have been browsing dwarf generals (and yes, they happened, not just recently). Even people that posted shortstacks barely, if at all, mentioned racemixing, let alone rape and slavery.
Elf threads are just filled with people that don't like elves (they still masturbate to them).

This is a cute OC couple I've seen posted a few times, while I like the art I wish the creator made the Eldar a Corsair or Harlequin or even Ynnari Commorite instead of a Banshee (an Exarch at that) to make it more plausible. I get it's fun non-canon fanart, a Biel Tan and Tallarn refrence and this in general is extremely unlikely in lore either way,but the 'tism strikes me, a different choice of Eldar would have made this OC much better.
Also like the idea of a weird Eldar taking the initiative and pursuing the human, who's not on board at first and shy & uncomoftrable about it, but warms up like a reverse Yrliet (but with some physical contact). That's how I'd hope to see a Eldar x Human pairing, maybe if someone made a corsair RPG, that could be an option.

Abh are just genetically modified humans, and only the Abriels have pointed ears since they are royalty, all the other Abh have rounded ears.
Heck the name of their nation is the Humankind Empire of Abh
>>
>>97931350
Weren't Eldar genetically modified by their creators to be what they are?
>>
>>97931548
Yes, but not from humans (or so the Eldar insist)
>>
>>97929883
working with a shovel is worse
>>
>>97931664
Considering they were created nearly 60 million years before the first hominids evolved on earth, they're correct.
>>
>>97931673
>60 million years before the first hominids
That's the official story anyway
>>
>>97931664
Either way it was genetically modified into something different.

The end result of that process was a race of space elves, the Eldar. So to say that a bunch of people who have heavily modified themselves are still 'human' and not 'space elves' is kind of funny.

The Abh are alien enough to other people they have to remind themselves and others with a title like 'Humankind Empire of Abh'. We don't go around inviting people into our Humankind Household, fellow human. Unless we're Mork and Mindy.

At what point did the mysterious origin clay that eventually became the Eldar become the Eldar? What bounds do the Abh have to cross to make it so.


Then its kind of extra funny that the Eldar, or at least the memes of Eldar, would look at a heavily modified being like an Astartes and still call it monkeigh. In spite of how they themselves were created.
>>
If the thing about shitting crystals is true, unless that was just some funny slander against them, I suppose the first thing that comes to mind would be an mollusk making a pearl. So maybe Eldar used to be clams lol
>>
>>97931895
It depends on diet. Now that Yrliet is living on the rogue trader's ship and eating mon-keigh food, she produces smelly organic dumps like anyone else
>>
>>97932037
She was too embarrassed to ask Elantach how to use the toilet, so she asked Janris Danrok instead. He's the only other mon-keigh she trusts, because he is so thoroughly professional.

>>97931715
The elder race who created the eldar died or disappeared or something and had no involvement in the creation of humans
>>
>>97931884
but the Abh do pull Landers (human who didn't get modified to excel in space) into their empire, they even make the nobility, that's Jinto's whole thing, he is an unmodified human who was made a Baron and now has to serve in the military like all nobles do. They never call or treat themselves as anything other than human
