What's your take on it?

True Wood Elves have a life tree. If the life tree dies; they die. The reason they are called "tree lovers" is pretty obvious. I played alot of pen and paper RPGs over my life [D&D, warhammer fantasy and Runequest] and my elves were the Tolkien/Vulcan types. High Elves were elves that were true born without a life tree and lived a human culture and tended toward human beliefs such as acquisition of power and wealth.

My Dark elves were borrowed from the Warhammer 40K story arc and the awakening of Slaanesh Chaos God of lust, excess, decadence, pleasure, perfection, hedonism and painful death. Need I say more :P

The Wood Elves in Regnum Online are cowards anyway. I mean, they are WOOD Elves, but every NPC you speak to says he or she is afraid of the forest because of all the nasty creatures and the scary trees. There is even one in the woods between Korsum and the gate paralysed from fear.
I mean, what kind of elves are we?

True elves are from Rivendell.

If you weren't born in Rivendell, you aren't a true elf.

For all those who didn't know, Rivendell is south west of Herbred Fort.

If you didn't know that, you can't possibly be a proper elf!
