Well the spirit of the rule seems to prevent playing an unnaturally buff and/or powerful character so if you want to be smaller than the minimum high restrictions I doubt anyone has any practical reason to prevent that, imo

Nice work, elf section is more or less okay

Neat!

This has been the High Princes and Annilirs channel and we will catch you on the next one

the horse is basically my perpetual mood

Amaethea - The Elkwood Glade Amaethea, a name roughly translating to “elkwood”, is the largest city of the Elven people on the continent of Almaris. Nestled deep within the mighty Orocarne mountains, and well hidden redwood pines of the forest of Dorthonion, its glades are rich with wild game, and its river and shores abundant with aquatic life, making for overall prosperous living. The Elves here devote their lives to maintaining a personal harmony with the wilderness around them, living simple, naturalistic lives while observing the rich tapestry of rites revolving around their wild Gods. Location & Directions Peoples and Cultures Elvenesse is the principal homeland of two distinct, yet similar peoples. The Wood Elves, also known as the Irrinites, and the Sea Elves, also known as the Almenodrim. While they make up the majority of the glades’ citizens, a sprinkling of other transient elven races live in Amaethea as well. Irrinites - Wood Elves Almenodrim - Sea Elves Other Elves The Wild Faith [x] Institutions Elvenesse is full of opportunities for ambitious young elves. Whether one is inclined to be a warrior, a healer, a craftsman, or an artist, there are many guilds and organizations to join. The most prominent institutions in the Realm of Elvenesse are listed below. The Circle of Healing [x] The Father Circle [x] The Green Priesthood [x] The Emerald Guard [x] The Tea Ladies The Bardic Spirits Government [x] Seeds & Houses Nothing is more important to the elves than kin, and society in Elvenesse is principally organized along family lines. These take two main forms, the Great Houses of the Almenodrim Sea Elves, and the Seeds (or Tribes) of the Irrinite Wood Elves. Almenodrim Houses Traditionally, Almenodrim society is divided amongst a small group of ‘Great Houses’. These Houses are almost exclusively derived from ancient bloodlines that trace their lineage back to the semi-mythical land of Almenor, a Province of the prehistoric Kingdom of Malin, in which the Sea Elves were born as a race. Sylvaeri Telemnar Kaeronin Hawksong Wood Elf Seeds Wood Elven society is divided into many tribes called ‘seeds’. Unlike Almenodrim houses, Seeds can be both ancient and new, and are open for any worthy elf to join. Each Seed has a tattoo that all its members have inked onto their skin. The tattoos differ from Seed to Seed and usually resemble the Gods that the Seed worships. Elvenesse is home to almost all of Almaris’ Wood Elven Seeds, with only a few exceptions.

Nevertheless, these smaller families all still maintain a presence within the land of pines, and can be found and interacted with! Songbird Silma Oranor

A day later and the poster has been ripped down and replaced by a wampum scroll written in elvish script. "The teaching of arcane sorcery to any citizen of elvenesse is strictly illegal, and leaving the borders of our realm to learn this forbidden magic is not an acceptable loophole to circumvent this law. Desist or suffer the full brunt of the law of Elvenesse and wrath of the Wild Gods."

While it is okay for your character to have prejudices, a well developed character is defined by what they like, not by what they hate. ergo, if your character’s only personality traits are “hates gays, women and minorities”, then you’re playing a self-insert to act out your prejudices with a thin veil of RP to justify it. If your character is a well developed product of his culture, with goals, ambitions, desires that dont solely revolve around hating people, then its okay for a byproduct of his personality to include prejudice against certain peoples and groups.

great build, excited to visit and rp there while this plays on repeat:

Looks excellent! I vibe with the longboats

Among the smoldering wreckage of the village of Siramenor, a Green Priest stands on a charred stump, facing a crowd of mali’ame. They are bruised and broken, weary and bloodied. The night’s fighting has been hard on them, and their home has been rendered into ash. The priest himself is wrapped in silk bandage, stained with blood. His left eye is swollen shut, his lip split. He looks no better than any of the wounded warriors he addresses. He speaks quietly, his voice croaking, but as his speech goes on- he grows more iron willed, impassioned, defiant, and determined. Our humble village was once a wellspring of life tender red meat fell right off the bone as our tribes feasted by its great bonfire, performing our dances and songs to honour our ancestors and the Gods of the wild. Here we lived, we laughed, we loved. Then, the twisted souls from the starlight realm came. They brought with them hatred, fire, putrid flesh and infernal magicks born from the malice of hateful Gods. Now our village is ash. Our sacred shrines that we once danced around are charred husks, and our glade, once full of life, is silent. Yet for every blade of grass burnt, we have made our enemy pay with a pound of blood. For every fallen warrior, a pile of festering Inferi bodies stains the sacred meadows where we once celebrated the passing of the Aspects’ seasons. We mali’ame live in harmony with nature, and embrace it to its core, thus we fight not with honour, not with restraint, but with the primal instincts of a wild beast, and nowhere is a beast more dangerous than when it was backed into a corner. When the enemy from the starlight realm came, our people were forced to abandon our home, and retreat into the sanctuary of our Grey Elvish cousins. There our foe tried to finish us off, but there they would meet their own end. For the children of Irrin fought not with fear, not desperation, but fury. Fury for our beloved forests, crying out in pain, fury for our fallen brothers and sisters, whose souls now rest within the eternal forest. As horde after horde of infernal beast crashed against our citadel like waves against a sheer cliff, they found only the bitter, icy kiss of ‘ame ironwood. Make no mistake, the spirit of the Horned Lord and all his Mani of war, Felixii, Morea, Moccus, Mahae, Norra, and Bolomormaa, coursed through our veins. Every serrated spear point that found the putrid flesh of an Inferi’s throat was delivered by the wrath of our Gods. Woe be upon any who brings accursed fire into the land where the wild things roam. Yes, our village is burnt. But the enemy has been driven from our land. Their dead form a mountain of corpses which we will burn- for they will not have the honour of returning to the earth as our own fallen warriors shall. Never again will the Inferi of the Starlight realm dare to encroach upon the realm of the Aspects. Brothers and sisters, the mali’ame are not our tribal halls, we are not the trees whose shade we live under. We are our people, and so long as one tribe- one warrior survives who proclaims themselves of the line of Irrin, following of the teachings of the Green Dragon, the Mani, and the Aspects, then our people live. We will rebuild, by the grace of the Aspects, our forest will regrow, and in time we will once more live, laugh and love- dancing around the bonfire as we did before the dark times. Never forget how our warriors fought on this day. The story of our victory will be told for generations after our deaths, among the tribal halls and communal fires of our eternal people. Oerne kae’leh ethereh, Oerne kae’leh hiylun’ito khel myumiereh Ay’heya tuvan ullrere, kae iyl perithere: Eletaliynan orchulne ullrer. Nae’eh ay’eletaliynan mayilere nae tuvan illere.

May I point out that the Monkeys have now officially outlasted both the Kha and the Snow Elves

Laetranis smiled as he read over this segment of the ethnography. “Lady Tanith certainly is a master of prose, she explains the balance better than even I could. Perhaps I will use her moving words in my future sermons.” ((This is excellently written, thank you for taking the time to explore our culture and give us a spotlight!))
