talking aboot Mountain elves

[squiggley1]

Many of you know of the noble elves in their forest halls and their lands of magic, but do you know of the elves known as the mountain elves?

differences from a wood elf

A mountain elf is sub race of elves that some say could possibly be a half breed of elves and dwarves. They look like normal elves but are a few inches taller, more prone to facial hair, and a little more beefed up. However, unlike normal elves, the mountain elves don't age past 200 (unlike 1,000+ like normal elves), and don't live in forests. They carve their homes out of stone and into mountains.

personality

When it comes to personality mountain elves are far more like their dwarven and human (in truth they prefer the company of these two over their own cousins) neighbors than elves in more ways than one. Mountain elves are extremely proud, insulting ones pride could cause you to end up in a fist fight. They always consider negotiating and hearing both sides of a story before making a decision. They make incredibly loyal friends and will consider you a friend long after you've stopped considering them one. They never forget a promise and are incredibly honor bound.

culture

Mountain elves love to craft, sculpt, and forge anything from great swords to spoons. They favor a republic monarchy when it comes to government. Mountain elves really like ale, a lot, nuff' said. Mountain elves are also fond of mining, it's good exorcise and you get stuff to craft with. They often have friendly competitions with any nearby dwarves when it comes to the whole crafting deal.

war

Mountain elves are really famous for their excellent sieges and defenses. They're alright when it comes to offense but not so much. When it comes to weapon of choice it's either some form of ax, or a great sword. They excel in shock infantry but are quite fond of the bow. Mountain elves are either covered head to toe in heavy armor with a tower sheild in one hand and a small axe in the other or lightly clad in male and some patches of plate with a small shield and a massive greatsword, axe, or war hammer.

and that's all you really need to know about mountain elves ((some of it's a lil' mixed up I know but this took a lot of thought and shtuff))

((Reminds me of Nargothrond form LotR, where the elves had a sort of night vision and were excellent at crafting and mining. Of course, they were overrun by a dragon and some orcs, but meh.))
