Jun 28, 2008 20:29:36 I've read the campaign setting over for Dragonlance with regards to the Silvanesti Elves. How could they get along in a non-Silvanesti party?

I haven't read overly much about them in novels, but they seem abrasive to the point where non-Silvanesti would not want to travel with them.

Jun 28, 2008 21:43:52 Silvanesti are the classic High/Sun elf, so.... You can expect pride, haughtyness, snobbyness from the stereotypal one. Better have them in a party with only elves.

of course, and thankfully, even non-human races are not always stereotypes. Thank the gods.

While they are your sterotypical "snobish" elves, sometimes the need of a service/item/help can overide a persons inborn pride.
if you're worried about your players being the sterotypical elf that wouldn't want anything to do with a non elf party then try to include something they may need, that cant be gotten from other elves.
Information....a perticular item (maybe a lost family heirloom).
Not every adventureing party needs to be born of friendship, sometimes just similar goals is enough to draw people together.

Jul 01, 2008 20:01:08 I honestly feel bad for the people of Silvanos. It seems like someone is always trying to take their home. At least in my opinion, the fact that the Silvanesti got smacked in the War of Souls, the pride thing is going to be taken down a notch or two. Bringing up the minotaur invasion will anger and possibly incite violence for certain, so tread carefully there. But although they are proud, they aren't stupid. They have to realize that essentially they are guests in someone else's house.

If it's during the War of the Lance or immediately afterwards, they are relying on the help of others to cleanse their homeland.
During the age of the shield? Their ancient enemy Cyan Bloodbane has them all trapped and is slowly poisoning them. Not a good lot for these elves.
