Quenditar 11-08-07, 03:28 PM	For a campaign idea I had, I need a list of elf races. All elf races written up in some published product. This is what I can think of: Generic Additions: Arctic Elves, Desert Elves, Fire Elves, Forestlord Elves, Illaeli Elves, Jungle Elves, Painted Elves, Snow Elves, leShay Greyhawk: High Elves, Gray Elves, Valley Elves, Wood Elves, Grugach, Aquatic Elves, Drow Forgotten Realms: Moon Elves, Sun Elves, Wood Elves, Wild Elves, Drow, Lesser Drow, Avariel, Lythari, Rockseer Elves, Snow Elves, Star Elves, Aquatic Elves, Celadrin, Fey'ri, Deepwyrm Drow, Eladree, Brown/Zakharan Elves, Maztican Elves (various), Draegloth, Eladree Eberron: Aereni/Valenar/Khorvaire Elves, Drow, Umbragen Dragonlance: Qualinesti, Silvanesti, Kagonesti, Dargonesti, Dimernesti Athas: Elves Mystara: Wood Elves, Water Elves, Shadow Elves I know many of these elves have the same mechanical stats, but my campaign idea calls for separating elves by ethnicity, not just stats.

Barloch 11-13-07, 11:44 PM	Thats entirely too many elves for my comfort, and we still have just one sub-race of humans the most "diverse" race, huh.
Quenditar 11-14-07, 12:20 AM	High elves, Aereni elves, Valenar elves, Khorvaire elves, and Qualinesti elves (I need to check the book on Silvanesti) have identical stats, and Moon elves are identical except for height and coloration. They're no more diverse than Rhinnee, Thayans, and Karrns. So not all of them are subraces. Just most of them.
CrimsonDeath 11-14-07, 12:43 AM	There are quite a few Elven subraces from Magic: The Gathering. Fyndhorn, Quirion, and Llanowar from Dominaria. Skyshroud from Rath (although they moved to Dominaria recently). The planes of Lorwyn, Ravnica, Mirrodin have their native Elf populations. Browsing through Gatherer, I noticed that The Dark had the Savaen Elves, although I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a region, a race, a city, a cult, or what. Also, in case it matters, I've come to think of Santa's Helpers as being more akin Gnomes or even Brownies than Elves. I think it's likely that they became known as "elves" simply because they were considered to be some sort of Fey, while Tolkeinesque Elves are more similar to the Nordic concept of Elves.
