From the Notes from Nochet files:
>(XXIX.1623.gsl.hibb/7) "In parts of the Pamaltelan deserts, there are
>White Elves who have poisonous blood or sap, and break off spines
>to use as blowpipe darts. As a race they are almost extinct, for
>Fonritian traders pay the local tribesfolk well for the spines, which are
>used in civilised country as writing quills, and to make syringes and
>other medical instruments. With the resumption of sea-bourne trade,
>Vadeli merchants occasionally offer them here at fantastic prices,
>well beyond my budget." Guido Capratis, apocathery.
Note, this is anecdotal evidence, and I've seen no corroborating evidence of
these creatures.
