Hello all,
Just thought I would give you a few threads where some things such as The Most Awesome Elf and Who's Your Favorite Race?, since that's the direction this thread seems to be headed.
I do, however, quite like the elves as a whole because they are noble, valiant, and beautiful. The young fire that was in them at the beginning was also especially exciting, and their love for nature and music echoes my own. Their 'fading' away lends them a wistful air and, being a hopeless romantic, I find this quality very appealing. The ancient lore and knowledge that they have gives them a sense of otherness, and they are very mysterious in a way not wholly safe. To put it in the words of C.S. Lewis, they are not tame lions. So that, in a nutshell, is why I like the elves. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
