Atra Solum

So, are we wanting a change from the dark elf city to the just an elf city? Do we want to just get rid of the god-modding dark elves?

I vote for changing the dark elf city to normal elf city.... And if possible get rid of the dark elf's, since they are simply to strong (If they got a huge decrease in power, then I might allow them, but not as they are now)

I agree with Sachiel.

Same! But you already knew that... XD"

ok then. see what i can do this sunday

Hurrah! If you need help, feel free to contact me.

Looks like I got here just in the nick of time. Who exactly started these lil demi-gods? It's obvious the chap wanted to cheat everyone out of their fun.

By the way, I have an idea for the elves! It would make them very diverse and possibly cause much more attraction to the site! (Thank you Anya for your posting about putting two different factions up in the elf city! You're a genius!)

Why, thank you... XD" I think so, too.
Lol.
Alright, I'll get working on it again, but I certainly wouldn't mind some help on the subject. XD" I'm really only tolerably good at making up different factions, so any suggestions are definately going to be appreciated!!
:3

just give me the go ahead when u are finished tweaking it and get ready to alter the city so i can update the required reading and the profiles

Yes'm! :3

We need at least five different major parts to the city, each with it's own faction leader.The person wishing to become an elf must choose between them and submit to their own unique and separate laws. A few could be Dark Elves, the way they were meant to be (Not just skin color), and a few could be regular, and one could be strictly for those elves mixed between the two!



(This is Savvy, btw)

Lol. Sounds good, but a tad complicated...

Do you happen to have an AIM, Savvy? that way, it'd be easier to talk and whatnot and iron things out.

I wish. My family just got the internet and computer two years back. We aren't much of the upper class here in England, but I can make one. Tell me how, cause I really bloody don't know how. I heard a lot about it, just don't know how to make one...

Forgive me, mates! DX

It's fine! Don't worry about it.

Lessee...
If you go to www.aol.com, a homepage will come up. If you look at the left side under "directory," "AIM" should be the second button down. Click on it. A box should pop up and ask you if you'd like to sign in. Under the box for the username, there should be a link that says "Need an account? Sign up now!" If you click on it, andother popup should come up with a thingummy to fill out. Once that's filled out, you should have an AIM.

If you don't want to bother with it, that'd be fine. XD" Let me know if you've got problems with getting it to work, k?

I have an AIM! Now, you'll get to see a pic of me if you message me, so be warned. I'm probably nothing like what you may have thought I looked like. So I won't be suprised if you're shocked, mates... Heh.

Oi, off-topic posting. Keep it to the chatter box. I actually need this section for suggestions. Speaking of which, you all fixed on an idea for Atra yet?

My apologies, milady! I think we have a central idea for it! We're just finalizing. Are you okay with the ideas presented, Anya? You hold the final say.

Yeah. Just a few things to iron out.
Aorry about that, Atalya. X__X'' Got carried away.

Hey mates, I would like to be one of the first people here on this sight to be converted! (As in; bitten by vampire or werewolf, magically altered at an Elven celebration, converted to the holy choirs of the angels). I think it may help out with people wanting to comeinto the sight as a human with interesting lives, and it could give the elves a little more gifts than just immortality but not making them god-like chaps. I read up on Elven lore and myth; in most stories, the elves hold a great celebration of some kind for a annual or huge event. Any non-Elf present becomes magically altered to their race but keeps a limited number of their original abilities from their former race. Also, the elves were imbued with magic in their blood, therefore it is more easily accessible and less threatening to use it, but if they chose to misuse their magical prowess and study dark tomes and convert to a dark elf, they were immediately banished and cursed to a life of dark blindness. They would forever be rejected by those pure of heart unless they were willing to change. That's how the elves stayed morally pure.

Another thing about elves is that they are always accompanied by dragons in some way; whether through being a rider and sharing a close companionship or through making them what we would call pets. Most elven lore involves dragons and reveres them as the smartest and most powerful creatures in existence.

Sorry for the history lesson. I pressumed it would clear some of the mystery behind the race and create a base to construct their ground here on Dichotomy. I promised that I was trying to help out, mates! lol. So here's some of the fruits of my labor!

Hmmm...
That could work. I've heard all of those things before, somewhere. XD"
Well... Let's see. The only problem I have with the dragons is that we already have a seperate city for them, so my thought is that the dragons would choose to be with whoever they want to be, rather than "Impressed" (as Anne McCafferey would call it), and could thereby be with ny race if the individual was deemed worthy by its companion.
Maybe the elves have a pact with the dragons, so they come in contact more often?

Also... If the "dark" elves are blasphemers, does that mean the elves underground (considered "dark" elves because of their skin) are descendants of blasphemers?
Also... do we want to set up a system of gods? I know we have God and Satan, but what about everyone else? Do they kowtow to one of these pair, or do they have their own versions?

:3 Good ideas!

Great ideas! But where did the dark skinned elves come in? I've never really heard of that one before...

FYI: I saw Avatar, go see it! I highly recommend it! It was the best movie I've ever seen in my whole life! Go see it!

I watched Avatar about a week ago. Great movie.

Oh! the dark elves are what are called"drow" from a series of books called the Forgotten Realms. They aren't typically considered "canon" creatures, but in some versions of the roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons, you're actually allowed to be one, so I suppose somebody up there says it's okay. *shrugs*

They're actually one of my favorite types of elves. They have infrared vision and use alot of battle-based magics. On the other hand, in the Forgotten Realms, they aren't nice people. They serve a goddess they call "Lolth, the Spider Queen," and she's anything but kind. There's alot of infighting among the dark elves and they never come aboveground. When fighting against each other or against the few races that also live belowground, they have a race of goblins called "kobolds" they use as fodder.

The drow are extremely sophisticated. They also have a matrarchial society, which I thought was awesome. I can explain more, but it's probably easier to look them up. XD"

Interesting, mate, very interesting. I am going to have to look this whole sort up and see what it's about! But I am more enlightened now, I thank you. So this should make an interesting twist to our homegrown dark Elves here in Dichotomy, and I say that's how they should be made!

So let's get the ideas straight, we have at least four subfactions for the elves, half regular and half dark. We could add another small faction of mixed to spice things up. And our dark elves are the description you gave us up there. I say this is abloody plan! Let's do this!

Alright! I'd still like to hammer this out. I will try to be on both Dichotomy and AIM tomorrow around twoish my time... or after nine.

Alright! I will be on! I swear it!
