That's not Tolkien's elves though. More refined than delicate but more importantly not smaller than man.I usually expect Elves to have...elfin features. Small and delicate.

Yeah, was just about to say the same, according to who exactly are elves small and delicate?That's not Tolkien's elves though. More refined than delicate but more importantly not smaller than man.
Probably the storytellers who who defined the term "elfin" centuries ago.Yeah, was just about to say the same, according to who exactly are elves small and delicate?
Yeah, you're right about the meaning of the word.Probably the storytellers who who defined the term "elfin" centuries ago.
Dungeons and Dragons, which is another major part of the modern fantasy mythos.Yeah, was just about to say the same, according to who exactly are elves small and delicate?
Wench is not an offensive term now. It still just means a "young woman" and also still retains its archaic application to prositutes.In medieval times word "wench" didn't sound so... offensive, nor ugly. It was just a synoym for a girl.
But word "woman" oh boy... Let's just say you wouldn't like the things did to you after telling princess she's "beautiful woman", especially on the court, because word "woman" meant "pig caretaker girl", and you just called princess a "nicely working pig cartaker".
No change.I stopped playing after saw how bad Orc Lady design was when we saw her first. Honestly i like Orc Ladies and i was waiting someting like Raid Shadow Legends Orc Lady, she was amazing. Anyways i was thinking give another go, so is her design changed?
Ahh... Now I see, as I read my post again, I just forgot to mention it's about my native language and country.Wench is not an offensive term now. It still just means a "young woman" and also still retains its archaic application to prositutes.
You're correct that you wouldn't call any upper class female a woman. You'd call her lady.
But "woman" did not ever mean "pig caretaker girl" in English, to the best of my knowledge.
No problem mate. It's all good.Ahh... Now I see, as I read my post again, I just forgot to mention it's about my native language and country.
That's surely my mistake, even if small, yet rather important to the context, so please forgive me.
Well, the historical accuracy of larping even in things we factually know is not always top notchWell if you go Larping I hate to break it to you but elves comme in all shapes and that does not diminish their quality.
Historical accuracy of Elves? Or perhaps you meant Elf's?Well, the historical accuracy of larping even in things we factually know is not always top notch
I believe he's saying the historical accuracy of LARPing is ureliable for anything.Historical accuracy of Elves? Or perhaps you meant Elf's?
Yes and I was saying that there is no 'accuracy' when it comes to Elf's, they're creatures from folklore and myth and spanning many different cultures, and like most myth's, the lore is often contradictory and never definitive. In some cultures they were thought to be of a short stature, in other cultures they weren't. In some stories they couldn't bear the touch of 'cold iron' in others there was no such weakness. To say that there is an historical or definitive lore concerning elf's is ridiculous.I believe he's saying the historical accuracy of LARPing is ureliable for anything.
Regardless of elfs or elves.
I think you're reading too much into it. The smiley at the end was there for a reason.Yes and I was saying that there is no 'accuracy' when it comes to Elf's, they're creatures from folklore and myth and spanning many different cultures, and like most myth's, the lore is often contradictory and never definitive.

Modern authors and game dev's have created lore, for their creations. JRR Tolkien's Elves are different in many ways from elf's presented elsewhere (even in the spelling of the name). As just one of many example's Tolkien NEVER mentioned pointed ears in all of his extensive writings.
Is there a reason that you keep using an apostrophe for a plural? It's jarring to read elf's. I keep waiting for the word that's supposed to follow... Elf's what?Yes and I was saying that there is no 'accuracy' when it comes to Elf's, they're creatures from folklore and myth and spanning many different cultures, and like most myth's, the lore is often contradictory and never definitive.

I don't really give a fuck about what you find jarring. Every time I look into this forum to get an idea of when the next episode is coming all I see is some stupid argument about elves being petite or not. I just put my two cents in, go be a grammar facist somewhere else.Is there a reason that you keep using an apostrophe for a plural? It's jarring to read elf's.

No-one said that there is A (not "an", pet hate!) historical lore. They do not exist in history. Only in fantasy.
I honestly don't care about elves or elfs.
Hence me saying "regardless" of them, when I responded about Cartageno's joke.
I certainly did not require an expansion on the subject of fantasy tales, which quite obviously have no "historical accuracy".
Which was kinda the point of the joke he originally made.
