Elves are allowed in Sirion. And only in Sirion. They are not part of SMA.

So... what happens if a Sirionite elf emigrates to Dwilight? Or just joins another realm? He turns human? How is that SMA? That's not even low fantasy anymore.  :o

Sirion is not an SMA island. You are allowed to claim your character is an elf in Sirion, if you want. If you leave Sirion, you can't.

You can care about continuity, not make your character an elf, or never leave Sirion: pick two out of three.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

This is exactly why the Manifest Path should reform on East Continent and destroy those Elves!

When my hero dies I'm going to do that.

He's just a human with mutilated ears.  Like all Sirionites.  The things they do to their young.  *tsks*

Nothing like racism (or specism) to act like a true medieval noble!

Couldn't one play a human who has the disfigurement of pointy ears, Or alternatively comes from an ethnic group that modifies ears into points as a form of beautification?

I think it would be a serious stretch in SMA.

It would be glaringly obvious that you were trying to get around SMA but still be an elf.

I'd even send a Bedwyr to lend it verisimilitude.

Actually the elf population is booming on Sirion, taking away the forest from the pandas. Waiting for the Panda vs Sirion war.
Just stay alive and kicking, raise your voice when its needed. Through reason you can show the mistakes of others, something violence can't do.

I don't break rules, I bend them- a lot.

I hear they oppose the Pandas' bamboo monocultures...

I've heard of people going to Ren Faires basically dressed up as quasi-modern Victorian hookers.  Because they're idiots.  I mean...  Because that's what they think people wore back then.  Fishnets and all.

Yes, people are stupid when it comes to history. :(

I had to look up what a Renfaire was ;)

Despite being from the UK we don't seem to have too many of those... or maybe we do and I've led a sheltered life ;)
