    When one people invade another peoples territory, show no respect for their customs or beliefs (or lack thereof;) there will no doubt be conflict. It's not as simple as humans saying, OK, lets be friends again, while there standing on sidhelien soil. I don't think anyone can forgive a slight such as that and there will remain animosity.

    Interesting outlook regarding sidhelien and their creation, Lawgiver.

    Thanks Mike. I try to think outside the box. While I may take heat for this and some even accuse me of blasphemy...
    I have introduced Christianity into my campaign and have rewritten the temples and polytheistic view of the culture. I turned it into a sort of Reformation like period so that the church still has masses of power, but there is constant intrigue and other controversy.

    By rewriting the rules and having Anuirians accept God as their createor I had to explain the origin of elves. This was my best idea. I didn't think it was half bad... I have changed several of the other races and misc. stuff in my campaign. I have a bad habit of never excepting things for the way they are. I likte to adapt them to my own style.

    If you interested the site is http://fan_of_enoch.tripod.com -- "My Birthright Campagin" section. Be forewarned my view of magic is by far not the norm. But its my campaign so don't bash it. :P

    Even with your interpretation there would still be half-elves. Even when the White slave owners had black slaves that they viewed as less than human, there were half-breeds.

    On what ground? Are you suggesting then that they are more than just a different race...they are a different species of intelligent life?

    In my campaign yes. In others... I have no idea.

    In my campaign Man was created by God from the dust of the earth (See Genesis 2 ;)). Elves were created by Azrai from the four elements (water, wind, fire, earth). Thus they are two very different creatures.

    What about the other races?

    See my website Lawgiver's Chambers . Under the section: 'My Birthright Campaign' -> 'The Races and Monsters'

    I haven't fully finished the document (halfings in particular), but it contains the basic thrust.

    So you are saying that the dust of the Earth can't mate with Earth that has the three other elements?

    Maybe humans are made from the elements as well.
    dust, some sort of % of water, we give off heat, and I myself am guilty of putting out a lot of hot air.
