The elves are the French of the fantasy world. Both are often considered a highly advanced race with a long history and a taste for the arts. Both are often depicted by others as prancing sissies who flee at the first sight of violence, yet both have proven to be ferocious and competent in the art of war. Both are depicted as gay, yet others can't stop talking about how much they want to fuck their women. Both carry themselves with a sense of pride befitting of their achievements that is interpreted as arrogance by the outside world. And of course, both are in a state of decline and fighting a permanent war against a savage, subhuman race that wishes to douse the flame of their civilization.

In the Elder Scrolls setting the High Elves are oh-so-superior and live in literal crystal towers, the Wood Elves are cannibals, the Dark Elves are demon-worshippers, the Orsimer are fuckin' ORCS, and I don't even know what's up with the other three variants.


I think most non-D&D Elves have a tendency to be more of the "Wood Elf" type? If I'd have to guess, it's because two of the three Elven places in Tolkien's pre-Silmarillion work are in the woods. And the modern Elf is very much of Tolkien's breed.

Yes but there are marginally different ethnies. Still, the Himalayan Sherpas for instance have a gene that makes them better able to breathe in high altitudes. Dark-skinned people fare better under a harsh sun than light-skinned ones. So you have minor specialization within the human race that would perhaps correspond to snow elves/forest elves/city elves.

depends on when in history you look. During the 18th and 19th century for example, the Germmans were seen as a high cultured, artistic people, who were constantly grieving over the loss of their ancient empire and their spreading into many different little nations. At the same time, they were envied for all the great music, artwork and philosophy they produced.

In other words, they were pretty much the "dying race" Elves.

But they are not. Paris was a cesspool or misery and squalor before Napoleon III demolished it and rebuilt it again. Life expectancy was 25 years. Parisians were banned from leaving the city. People lived on top of mass graves. It was not unusual to find your basement filled with rotting corpses from a collapsed section of the walls. Tannery streets disposed of their waste on open sewers, or the street turned into a not only dirty, but outright toxic river.

I lived in Paris for two years. It's really interesting how immigrants from the Maghreb dominate the streets. The French are so un-manly (as a matter of principle) than they are easily cowed and pushed aside, and their women flock to the arab alpha males. Sometimes the males too. The Right worries a lot of about the "Great Replacement" of french natives by migrants but a lot of Parisians actually seem okay with it. It's a really interesting situation.

I dunno, Dwarves always make me think of Germans, stout people, about as wide as they are tall, drink copious amounts of beer, subsist on bread and meat, are often the wealthiest of their neighbours and have an excellent work ethic.

That said, Tolkien's orcs/goblins/uruks or whatever, certainly bear a resemblance to the Germans during the Great War. A horde of monsters who must be brought down by the final alliance of the civilized peoples, lest the world be destroyed.

Not him, but that's probably because you lived in the banlieue. You might have noticed that there are very few kebabs in Paris proper, because it's one of the most gentrified places in the world. I have mixed feelings about it, on the one hand it breeds an air of elitism but on the other hand it keeps the subhuman scum out of the nice parts of the city (unless they're selling overpriced trinkets to dumb tourists).

>Germans = Orcs
I must protest. Germans are, as I've observed in my interactions with them, rigid, industrialistic and humorless/terrible at humor, as well as organized/fond of drink. Dwarves.

>Spain/Discount Spain = Mer-people
I guess? Only reasoning I can see for that is they have a coastline. If anything, their deep religiosity could maybe make them humans instead.

>Poles = Dwarves
I guess. Miserable, prone to drinking and xenophobic, so I figure it fits.

>Brits = Goblins
Non-empire Britain is probably some manner of Greenskins. Orks are based on british hooligans, after all, and speak like them. They're also fuck-ugly and mentally limited, so yeah, I figure it fits.

Elderscrolls elves:

Altmer - ''We da tru people descended from God.''(think Zionist jews and Nazis fused into one) Most of them think the mortal world is a prison and want to destroy it.

Bosmer - Shapeshifting natives of Valenwood who had to form a pact with Jiffre to be turned into elves instead of being eldritch horrors. Now have to protect Valenwoods forests which are the remains of Jiffre, everything that dies in their forest (including their dead family members or other humanoids) they have to eat, can't use wood from the forest or eat veggies from the forest and thus import them or emigrate. Oh and they can turn back into monsters through a ritual used to defend them selves from invaders. Beast stealth archers.

Dunmer - Left to colonize Tamriel. Got cursed after their leaders betrayed a pact with Azura.

Orsimer - Tried to kill the ancestors of the Dunmer. Their ancestor god got eaten and shat out by a Daedra turning them into Shit-Elves.

Dwemer - Lying, cheating magitech bards the race. Poofed them selves out of existence.

Khajeet - have the same ancestors as the Bosmer but were turned into cat people instead.

Maromer - Think they are the best of all elves and higher than high-elves. Rightfully so since they are the baddest motherfuckers out there being swashbuckling waterbreathing magic pirates (current situation of them being alive or not is unclear).

Falmer - Fucked up a Nord settlement because they wanted the eye of Magnus. Got shitstomped by Nords in revenge, enslaved by Dwarves and turned into underground hillbillies munching on toxic mushrooms.

Chimer - Island elves living on the archipelago towards Akavir. Presumably just an independent group of Altmer who don't bother with anyone.

La chair est triste, hélas ! et j’ai lu tous les livres.
Fuir ! là-bas fuir! Je sens que des oiseaux sont ivres
D’être parmi l’écume inconnue et les cieux !
Rien, ni les vieux jardins reflétés par les yeux
Ne retiendra ce coeur qui dans la mer se trempe
Ô nuits ! ni la clarté déserte de ma lampe
Sur le vide papier que la blancheur défend
Et ni la jeune femme allaitant son enfant.
Je partirai ! Steamer balançant ta mâture,
Lève l’ancre pour une exotique nature !

Un Ennui, désolé par les cruels espoirs,
Croit encore à l’adieu suprême des mouchoirs !
Et, peut-être, les mâts, invitant les orages,
Sont-ils de ceux qu’un vent penche sur les naufrages
Perdus, sans mâts, sans mâts, ni fertiles îlots …
Mais, ô mon coeur, entends le chant des matelots !

Stéphane Mallarmé, Vers et Prose, 1893

I seem to recall reading that French has no word for "shallow", but I think that's just for single words - "not deep" wouldn't count.

Chimer are what Dunmer were originally called. They started getting called Dunmer (dark elves) after Azura changed their skin to the colour of ash as a reminder of the Tribunal breaking their vow not to mess with the Heart of Lorkhan.

There's also the Sinismer (left-handed elves) of Yokudan, but nothing is really known of them aside from the fact that apparently their most notable trait was being left-handed and that they warred with the Redguards and got their asses kicked.

Cumbrians, the Celtic people who lived in Northern Britain, their language and culture went extinct in the 12th century but their ethnic makeup is still in the region.

Yes, one of the prime warmongering nation of Europe, and kinda crazy at it.

When we are not building defensive structure everywhere ( castles, vauban, maginot), we like overwhelming charge. I mean, Azincourt charge, and Foch. Motherfucking Foch.
He is more 40k than 40k.
Is "My centre is giving way, my right is retreating, situation excellent, I am attacking." the word of a sane commander ?

He was made president of the superior council of war, Marshall on three différents country, Généralissime, and supreme commander of the allied force.

And there's many reasons for that, for example French influence on German, where they shifted /w/ to /v/, and /r/ to /ʁ/ (the 'Guttural R').

And also the High German consonant shift where 'th', a sound characteristic of early Germanic languages became /d/, and all the stop consonants changed their pronunciation.

Here's the answer to why the french are so fucked up right now:

Ask any historian and they'll tell you that...up until recently...the French used to be Badasses. USED TO BE. Note: Past Tense.
They spent most of history being big, brave billy badasses charging around on big goddamned horses with big goddamned swords and fucking up everyones day; all the while yelling "Ha HAWN! We are Fraaanch, an we weeil Nevair Surrendairrrr!"
All of European history is an endless clash between the descendants of Charlemagne on one side of the Rhine and the spawn of sadomasochistic vikings on fly agaric on the other side.

Flash forward to the early 20th century. Now focus on World War I.
All those Huns were acting up again and it was time for The Fraaanch ("Ha HAWN!") to give then all a good -- how you say? -- a Thrashing.
So all the big, brave strapping french "Jocks" put on their helmets; and all the scrawny, asthmatic pencilnecked french "Nerds" Stayed Home and hid in their chateaux.
Soon, the Fraaanch ("Ha HAWN!") arrived at the Battle of The Somme; and they saw a battlefield filled with minefields, machine gun nests and mustard gas and did what they always did: Yell "Ha HAWN! We are Fraaanch, an we weeil Nevair Surrendairrrr!" and charged in like suicidal lemmings on angel dust...and got fucking massacred. And then they did it again. And Again. AND AGAIN!
Until the Big, Brave "Jock" allele was eradicated from the French genepool; and all that was left was the scrawny, asthmatic pencilnecked french "Nerds".

To put this into perspective Google Image search "Jean Paul Sartre"
Now take a good long hard look at this hideous douchebag.
This, ladies and gentleamericans...THIS WAS ALL THE FRENCH GIRLS COULD HAVE SEX WITH. THIS...THING...GOT LAID! THAT IS HOW BAD IT GOT.

So....NOW you know WHY The French are NOW a bunch of flaccid, half-gay snail-eating goobers without a single cojone between them.
Because all the butch manly men were all eradicated at the Somme.
>>
>>46078522
He's not wrong. World War I affect heavily the Genepool in europe, and it didn't help that the spanish came right after. Hence the famous 'wasted generation'.

I like how to qualify to hold the title of 'Leader of the Free World', all one has to do is drop bombs in terrorist training camps. That's what the US did for years and that's what the french did now and make an article claiming the title.

You'd think the leader of the free world you would need use your economic and military might to stop conflicts worldwide, create prosperity and stability in other countries so that trade worldwide prosper too, and you know. Generally have a good foreign policy.

But no. Bombs on training camps, that's where it's at.
>>
>>46078664

Much good that does when their own country has a critical infestation of The Cancer, and native french politicians make anti-free speech laws like they were already full caliphate.

If the the french need to intervene on something, it's France. Preferably with guillotines.

That's pretty much the extent of America's modern warfare as well, except with less long-term success (remember that America to a lesser or greater degree created both Al-Qaeda and ISIS). Well, other than that mishap with those South-East Asian rice farmers and their outdated Soviet rifles. Then again, maybe the Vietnam War killed off every American that wasn't obese and so ignorant the theory of evolution is too hard for them to grasp.

There reaches a point where you either reach a full circle via curvature of the ears... or you achieve the necessary lift for self-sustained flight.

>I know South Auckland has a Pacific Islander problem

Do pacific islanders have a violent and xenophobic culture that causes them to oppress and forcibly convert those around them? If not, I fail to see how they're comparable as a 'problem' to Arabs

Good. Every aspect of an elf should be rejected by a human of good spirit.

Do you guys think that way we elves is similar way black people and arabs see whites?

Heavy resentment mixed with a heavy desire to fuck the shit out of?

You guys benefitted from it more than France. France only got the prestige out of it.

Bullshit, if the Elves are french, then what does that make the English? Dwarves?
>>
>>46085554
No, that's the germans.

The english are more goblins or orcs, except more cash-minded.
>>
>>46085554
No, Dwarves are Norwegian cave dwellers. The British Iles well portray typical non-barbarian yet feudal humans.

>Soon, the Fraaanch ("Ha HAWN!") arrived at the Battle of The Somme; and they saw a battlefield filled with minefields, machine gun nests and mustard gas and did what they always did: Yell "Ha HAWN! We are Fraaanch, an we weeil Nevair Surrendairrrr!" and charged in like suicidal lemmings on angel dust...and got fucking massacred.

I know this is hyperbole but the French actually did very well at the Somme. They captured most of their objectives with a favorable rate of attrition while committing relatively few troops.

Now the Vosges and Verdun on the other hand...

Literally the high command on both sides trying to see who would make the biggest pile of corpses.
