--Lirinen-- |
| The Story So Far -- The story of how elves got here by Sileniel. "There were magnificent cities in the plains. There were communities who lived in the forest, blending their houses into the upper branches of the majestic trees. All lived in harmony with nature, and with each other for the most part..."
Vor'jen -- And here's part of the story from another point of view, by Aladar Elenari -- A much happier Elenari story by Aladar. The Elven Way by Ilon Bluesky -- "Elves are of a special nature. They are sometimes gay and playful, sometimes musing and contemplative. Their magical Way is as difficult to describe as the way the wind whips your hair about on an autumn afternoon, or the way the forest smells on a spring morning...." The Sundering -- A story of remembering written by Tiernan. TalLeonan -- "Well met, all. I am Tal Leonan ap Rhys Gil Gilad...We are not originally of this realm. In the before times we dwealt not only on another world or other plane, but in another state of existence all together... " | |

Descriptions by Ilon Bluesky -- "Elves (Ah Kin) live in Shamballa, the City of Eternal Bliss, also called `Foresthome', which lies deep within the forest and exists simultaneously on many planes...."
Elves in mythology By Ash Rowan Thorn -- The Norse perspective -- "The world of ancient Paganism was hardly limited to the worship of the Gods. There are various other beings who were honored, and "Elf worship" was often the hardest part of Paganism for Christians to destroy..."
Tolkien & the Elves by Ilon Bluesky -- "I think that Tolkien is ONE source on elves, and a good one, yet one must understand a few things about this subject if one is to proceed without venturing off the deep end:..."
The Fall of Aelfheim -- This is a poem about the end times before coming here. |
Elven Nation -- "Incidentally, Suzy tells me she was born with ears that were large and somewhat pointed. They were surgically altered shortly after birth to look more 'Normal'...."
The Enchantment (broken link) -- A walk through the veil, by Aria.
Recapturing our Language -- During our many discussions both privately and on the digests, words and phrases that are obviously not in English are often uttered spontaneously. Sometimes, the meanings of these words can also be remembered. This is a collection of what we have so far.
Elven Language List -- Same as above, but this one is text only.
Tolkien Dictionary of Elvish -- Quenya and Sindarin as used in Tolkien's body of work.

Being an Elf in a Hooman's World By Wyndreamer -- "As I have said to those on #elves in Dalnet, when asked who I am, I usually answer that i am an elf pretending to be a human pretending to be a dragon.

| by Tal Leonan When I gaze into the mirror | |
Following this elven song, I made my way into the wood
And listened to the River flow, its song entwined with music fae
I found the way both steep and long, but nonetheless my pace was good
And swiftly toward the voice did go, until I knew I'd lost my way.
Upon my path I walked steadfast, no matter that I knew not where
And as the singer's voice grew near, ever faster was my pace!
Through the veil of trees I passed, and saw before me one so fair
His face was free from hate or fear, and where he walked, he left no trace.
His golden hair fell to his belt, his golden bow he carried high
And from his mouth a song did come, that spoke of realms beyond these lands
His song made many walls to melt, and caused my Spirit far to fly
I saw that I'd been truly numb, and joy had fled by my own hands
"By Silver Wind, By Starlight's Flame, By River Swift, By Ancient Tree
Though my way be long indeed, though mired I be in Earthen sand
Let me not forget my Name, let me always clearly See
Let me help my Friends in need, and let me find my Elven Land."

Burden me not with pity's scorn
Weep for yourself, but not for me
Enrapt in petals, dancing free
While others vie for thorns
