Um. I am nearly 100% certain that the Kemrese would nòt call them "elves"; it was made fairly clear to me early on that this shouldn't be the case. Kemr doesn't seem to have a strong tradition of "elves" of any sort; let alone one where "elves" were members of an ancient civilisation. [I think this is because the Kemrese themselves trace their own history back to an ancient civilisation!] Calling a bunch of barbarian Celts "Elves", while satisfactory on a very base level, would be out of keeping. Padraic. ===== - Nos côsez yen fin xristianós et trancouil - Côsez-el a Ddon! -- Ill Bethisad -- <http://www.geocities.com/elemtilas/ill_bethisad> Come visit The World! -- <http://www.geocities.com/hawessos/> .
