That's all very cool! And yeah, it's certainly inspiring. The city idea with having the hatchling is a cool concept. Also, I guess my elves are sort of "artifical" in a sense too, being developed many years before by the demons, though it was so far back they are basically a natural race.

Yeah thats similar to how I've structured it, that Moonhi tribe I mentioned is basically disappearing but it's only been about 60 to 100 years.

I think I did mention their inbreeding declined....and I also said that it's only a few select groups of elves which practice the inbreeding, like subtypes of subtypes. Pretty much like 98% of elves don't do it I'm aware of the hazards of inbreeding. EDIT: Longevity declined I meant to say.

My elves don't really fit with that stereotype you mention in the beginning, because not all members of one race are a certain way, I'm really rejecting that idea of "homogenous races" for the creatures that aren't human cause I think that's wrong. Also my protagonist is an elf but she doesn't...

I really like your "Hapsburg" concept for elves and think it's true to some of the elven arrogance we commonly see, so it only makes sense that many would breed like this. I do actually have something similar in my elves, but it's less widespread, where only a few types engage in selective...

That is a really cool premise for elves, I like the origin story, similar to how mine did come from demons. My elves are pretty communal also and highly value interpersonal relationships, but in their decline become less connected to their social roots and develop into less-intimate creatures...

That' cool, I like the sound of your elves. But to answer your question, my elves were actually MORE demonic in the past as they originated from demons; essentially the demons created shells to occupy and those eventually became elves once the demon souls deserted them, leaving them with magic...

They're sort of equal with humans, but more traditional for sure. They trade with them but many elvish societies are quite protectionist or just oblivious to the affairs of humans or other elves. As for the distinction, I think I've decided there are marked differences between elf subtypes...

That's quite interesting, I love the concept of a different world and feasting on humans lol. My elves are descendants of creatures which demons spawned to protect the mortal world against a threat, and they have demon souls which occupy their bodies and that is how they have an affinity for...

XD that is funny, I feel bad for that one lol. Also is it reasonable to have a character with aquatic elf ancestry but also terrestrial and so has gills but can also survive out of water? Like a sort of dual-nature thing.

Not necessarily a magic casting method, but still relevant to the characters' relationship with magic. The magic casters in my world, which host, based on heredity, demonic souls that have a sort of symbiotic relationship with their own souls and they have to sort of cooperate with them to...

I agree with this, actually. My elves don't even live as long when you think of it, like they probably have just like 20-50 years on the average human lifespan when they still had an affinity for magic... You're right, though. Long lives doesn't correlate to more advancement directly, and...

I'll address your concerns here. I did consider some of these potential problems in planning, and I've come to some conclusions which may or may not deal with them. 1. Yes the elves were generally more advanced technologically; the tribal lifestyle is more cultural than anything and not related...

LOL actually yes a few varieties do have a lot of hair and skin-tone variations including unnatural tones like blue. Come to think of it, my mountain elves do look a little bit like the Nightcrawler, which honestly is kind of fitting...

Individual elves have specific prefixes to their subrace, like merelves for the sea. But maybe I'll adjust some of the naming, or just keep them as they are and readers will have to deal with how not all elves have to be the same XD.
