Servants of the Elves? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think the Elves 'government' as such was pretty much like the feudal system. Titles were hereditary and lords and ladies would probably hire servants although their living conditions would probably be much nicer (being Elves and all) than say in the 1600s where the gap between classes were massive. I think there's a misconception going around that the Elves were almost a democratic society where everything is fair and equal!
