This suggestion is reasonable with a high likelihood of implementation.


So about that...

As far as I know, this was implemented and is currently in place.

Ah, yes, you're right; it is for elves.

I still think it would also be logical for sprites and centaurs, or at least as an option, perhaps at the expense of just being good/average of whatever kingdom you picked.

It would also be nice if the help files provided more information about Ayamao/Sith'a'niel that a elves/sprites/centaur would likely ICly but that new players won't know OOCly, like why Sith is decaying.

It works for sprites, probably centaurs as well but who would play one?

About what happened in Sith'a'niel and also why elves are treated this way in Grahme, is there any info IC?
A storyteller? A book?

Only thing I noticed ICly is the presence of an Imperial diplomat in the village, perhaps something to do with that.

Sprites and centaurs also both receive innate Sylvan.

I do need to add some in-character resources to explain why Grahme seceded from the Ayamaoan Alliance and the damage to Sith'a'niel. There are a few hints here & there in-game, but nothing as in-depth as I'd like. Answered a similar question in the "Advice for a Possibly Returning Player" in the newbie forum, and will re-post that here:

Quote:
Low-down on Sith that a typical elf would probably know IC.... Dabi + her followers and various other bad guys put a pretty good smack-down on Sith over a number of years. Much of the elven nobility was destroyed, the monarchy was restored and Felgaros left Fort Tethos in the hands of a successor and came back to occupy the throne. King Felgaros rules now. The elves are a little more xenophobic and radicalized than before, but on the other hand have welcomed a bunch of griffons into the Tree.

Somewhere along the line there was also a civil war in the Ayamaoan Alliance. Chief Keldir died (or was murdered?) and his son, influenced by the dark aura alignments & religions, now leads the Village. Backed by their allies from the Empire of the Bright Star, the centaurs of Grahme seceded from the political Alliance and established their independence.


I'm mostly on hiatus/part-time here due to RL commitments and responsibilities, but in coming months I will try to write or gather some stuff up to get an IC record in a book or connected to a lorekeeper of some kind, and perhaps in a help file, so the information is more readily available for those who would probably know this through standard gossip/schooling, etc.
