I am currently designing the region/race desc for Torell and need some info on the Dark-Elves that live just north of Torell on the island of Lanuin. I understand the elves are the responsibility of Mandor. So Mandor could you please post what you have on them and the region of Lanuin. Specifically i need: Dark-elves real name History as in how did they get to Lanuin- I want the Torelluneuse migration to torell to correspond with the elven migration and need dates and specifics Relationship to humans and specifically Torell. I want to work with you on this one in fact i have taken the liberty of saying that the Torelluneuse people are the only humans allowed to port their ships at Lanuin. Humans can go there but they either have to get there by elven ship or by Torellunuese ship. That is if its ok with you. Lastly i need some info on the nature of Majik. I at the moment assuming that Majik is a globe. I read some of the design threads and see no definite dissection on this. Also are there other lands beyond the three continents. I am assuming there are as i described below and am wondering if this is OK. The race i am working on is in the position both location wise and skill wise to be the ones to discover any new lands. Also if other lands do exist i am assuming that no humans elves dwarves live there and only creatures not in the two colliding rooms exist there. Any way in my flora desc for Torell i have given evidence of other lands please read it and let me no if its ok. ""3. FLORA The plants of Torell are well adapted to the seasonal changes that occur here. The Islands' wet mild climate is well suited for plant life and the smaller plant life such as grasses and shrubs stay relatively green and grows year round. Trees and larger shrubs in Torell are mostly deciduous and during the fall shed their leaves and stay dormant during the winter months budding in the early spring. There are some conifers that grow on the eastern coast of Torell's main island which are more adapted to the high salt content of the soil there that is due to periodic hurricanes that awash the coast in ocean water. The origin of these conifers is much debated among the Torellunuese as they lack any resemblance to other conifers found in all of the known lands of Majik. It has led some to speculate that the trees originate from seeds that have washed ashore from some distant land lying across the vast Gray Ocean. The trees are called Mouse trees because the unique shape of the cone seeds that resemble the top tail end of a mouse."""
