Someone asked why elves do not seem to be immortal (sorry,
but I forget whom). My take on this is that no individual
elf is immortal, but elves as a whole are. Elves are VERY
different from most other races. They have what is just
about a hive mind and very little individuality and think
in terms of the forest rather than the trees. The elves
in fact consider themselves MORE immortal than other races
are (if anything can be more immortal).
Of course, in my Glorantha, the singular of `elves' is
sometimes `elvis.' :)
