Pure Avlissian elves v. ghost elves

Post by modigliani » Thu Jul 22, 2004 2:52 pm

My main is a ghost elf, and I end up in Le Or from time to time. I'm wondering what the in-game relationship is between Avlissian (i.e., straight out of the box) elves and ghost elves as a race. Is there a history behind the ghostly offshoot? I didn't see anything specifically in the posts or the background info (unlike for Drangonari, for example, who seem to be quite clearly defined). I'd like to know so I can better RP my character, especially if there is some history of tension between the two, or if ghost elves are perhaps more or less inclined to hate humans.

Thanks.

There is no good reason for an elf to hate humans. On the other hand both Avlissian and Ghost Elves could very likely hate MChek.
The other type of elf that was created initially by Dru-El is called the Light Elf, or more commonly the Ghost Elf.

Physically, these elves are much more thin and frail looking than Avlissian Elves, but their state of delicacy is a beautiful one. Their skin is almost always a bright yellow, or bright yellow with a very slight greenish tinge. From some angles, their skin almost seems to give off a faint glow, hence the name ghost elf.

Though these elves look much weaker, they are really just as hearty as their cousins, although they do have a propensity for broken limbs sometimes under rough conditions. Dru-El created them as his personal touch to the elven race, and although they are fairly rare, they mix well with the other elven subrace. Half-breeds of these types are extremely rare because ghost elves do not often survive copulation with non-elves of a larger size. Their thin frame usually won't allow it.

The society of the ghost elves is largely the same as the Avlissian Elf society. They occupy the same land, although no nobles of this race are found. The Ghost Evles are known to be even closer to nature than their cousins, and they particularly have an affinitiy for the night time, when their skin seems to glow even brighter, like the moon and stars.

Suprisingly, their family units do not often mix with their cousins. They mainly keep separate, yet always on good terms. They can be found in the cities very often, sometimes as tradesmen in fine goods. However, they rarely, if ever, leave T'Nanshi.

Doh! Must polish reading skills. Reading good then asking questions!

Thanks, Melakin. Also, thanks for distinguishing human/MChek. I mistakenly used the two interchangeably.

That's cool

Melakin is the best to ask in game about the differences...

He's a special kind of ghost elf :D
