>The elves'sense is one of the many subject on this fascinating race. What
>about their sexuality ?
Like plants, they sow and receive their pollen indiscriminately IMO (although this may be rather hard on the sprites). Only a few of these unions will actually be fertile (owing to sexuual and species compatibility).
>Their feeding habits ?
Fruits, Roots, Leaves, Stems, Grass and Dead Aldryami. all taking with a generous helping of Food Song.
>Their precise relations with the other races --friend or foes--, or
>with the Forest inhabitants.
They would not see a distinction between Dryad, Runner, Elf, Sprite or Tree. The essential catergory by which they live is whether something is part of their forest or not. If it is then it is a friend. If it is not, then it is an enemy. Aldryami of foreign forests are treated as enemy.
>How do they travel ?
They walk.
>How is their habitats ?
They sleep in the wild and use no shelter, no buildings or any other edifices.
>What about their lesser gods or secret pantheons ?
>Their relation with Aldrya.... Etc, Etc...
Aldrya: The Grower in her aspect as Forest Goddess.
Bebeester: The Goddess in her Taking Aspect.
Eron: the Healing Waters.
Halamalao: the Sun.
Sarana: The Goddess in her Growing Aspect.
Grower is worshipped by most elves when they are alive. Taker is worshipped by most elves when they are dead (ie brown elves in the winter). Defying this trend leads to impressive magical powers.
