She can only work on very limited information, it's true. History is very skewed towards the humans and many of the elvish history has been lost.I kinda want to see Vanessa and the other girls talking to the elves in the hotel and end up getting some of their views challenged or clarified.
Like, Vanessa saying something like "The elves used to work together to build their homes." Only for Sylvia to chime in with "Yes, we did. We used to bring in slaves to build everything".
Just to have the message of that it is vitally important to know the history of an indigenous people, but ignoring the flaws is as much of a disservice as trying to wipe it out. Don't sugarcoat the past to make it more palatable to modern tastes.
Specifically the history with high elves has been lost. They used to inhabit the southern parts of the continent, but when humans arrived, they were nowhere to be seen at all. So history of the common elves and dark elves were most recorded, and they were very communal.
Vanessa definitely doesn't ignore flaws though, she understands elves are just like humans, which is something I've tried to show off with how authoritarian the high elves are. Even the high elves had slaves, but this isn't something Vanessa or the world knows of. But she knows they aren't kittens incapable of harm, it's not my intention to write her in a bad way.
Yes.This is interesting. It helps feel that we are inside a *real* world, with a specific geography. Can we expect this to be somewhere in the game in a future update?
