A Day in the Life of an Elf

[Bill Ferny]

Tinnu is right, of course. There is a whole list of obvious tasks that need to be performed to maintain a civilization, even and elven one. The mere absence of discription doesn't necessitate the absence of common sense. Granted, it doesn't seem right that elves, the blessed immortal race, should have to wash clothes. But they did... they had to, really. There is, however, a big difference between an elf washing clothes, and a mere mortal performing the same task. For the elf labor is not a struggle with mortality and the natural world, but labor is a process of living within the harmony of the natural world. For most humans, whether of the third age or the seventh, labor is (for the most part) a drudgery, a constant struggle to overcome the forces of the natural world that can bring an end to our mortal lives.
