About the High Elves

fter a tip to the island of the Shrine of Valor, where I came across a drake (I never before had seen one there), I decided to wander to the hedge maze. Mad Biker had told me a lot about this mystical place, so I left all my belonging in the bank box and walked there from the Britain moongate.
Mad Biker already had told me about a guild stone on the mage's tower, but I wanted to find out more about the elves that were said to live there.

I had a good opinion of elves, as Mad Biker had told me stories about the Dark Elves of Yew. Maybe I would meet some elves today.
Soon I reached the maze and entered it. The farmhouse was amazing, and I read some of the books. On the mage's tower there really was the guildstone of the "High Elves". Some houses of the High Elves stood around, and suddenly two of them appeared. The dialog I had with them did show me, that they weren't very smart, did not know anything about their own race and their goals. In fact, there wasn't much that distinguished them from simple thieves. I even asked myself, if they really were what they said to be. But read the dialogue yourself:

You see: Faewellyn
Rhiana: [Valsharess of the Drow, THE]
You see: Rhiana
You see: Alma (invulnerable)
McBykar: Hello! Excuse me. I am an pilgrim.
Faewellyn: why do you tresspass on elven land
McBykar: I beg your pardon? I do not trespass, and there was no sign that this be elven land.
Faewellyn: you have stepped apon elven territory
McBykar: I see. Which is the terretory?
Faewellyn: your standing on it
McBykar: The whole maze?
Faewellyn: *nod*
McBykar: Since when? I have been here some weeks ago, There were no houses and no elves.
Faewellyn: there are now
McBykar: How did it come? Coulds thou tell me about the background?
Faewellyn: of elves?
McBykar: Of you. And the maze
Faewellyn: of myself personally?
McBykar: No, your guild
McBykar: and how you come to declare hedge maze as your home
Faewellyn: rhi? wanna come help me here?
McBykar: I am no noto hunter (by the way)
Faewellyn: i should hope not. i hate npks. of course, i also hate humans

McBykar: Why do you hate humans?
Faewellyn: because they are mush brains, knuckleheads. they know nothing
McBykar: Well, I don't quite agree... :)
Faewellyn: thats because you are one
McBykar: Sure.
McBykar: But what's the reason you think like this?
Faewellyn: because you kill..., rape, pillage, destroy, all for money and power
Faewellyn: us elves are serine until you step on our toes
McBykar: You are partly right. That is right for many humans, but not for all of them
Faewellyn: all that i have met stink of the putrid stench of war. i hate them all
McBykar: How did you become honorable? By giving away things to beggars?
Faewellyn: i dont remeber
McBykar: Strange.
Faewellyn: it just happened, and no i dont give to beggars. they are humans
McBykar: Somehow you must have gained your fame
McBykar: If not by giving, then by killing.
Faewellyn: yes
McBykar: So what's the difference between you and me?
Faewellyn: your a murderer and you smell funny
McBykar: :) That is not serious. I never attacked a human except for self defense.
McBykar: I am not offensive. So I am no murderer. And I don't quite get what you mean about the difference between you and me.
Faewellyn: *sigh*
Faewellyn: because your mushy brained
McBykar: No. Because you're not able to explain
Faewellyn: you do not understand the concept of life. you kill people and animals
McBykar: I already told you: I do NOT kill people
Faewellyn: what were you doing here anyways
McBykar: As I said: I am a pilgrim. I am interested in the secrets of Britannia to gain knowledge and wisdom.
Faewellyn: well
McBykar: Did you ever read the books in these houses?
Faewellyn: im sorry to say humans are not welcome here
Rhiana: [Valsharess of the Drow, THE]

Rhiana: what are your skills?
McBykar: I am archer and mage
Rhiana: give regents and ye shall stay
McBykar: As I told you: I am on a pilgrim tour. I don't carry anything with me.
Rhiana: you art a mage and ye hath no regents??
McBykar: Yes.
Faewellyn: *snicker*
McBykar: Because I prefer to WALK when I'm on a pilgrim tour. That's why.
Rhiana: regents have nothing to do with walking SIR
McBykar: I use them mostly for recalling, so I don't need them now.
Rhiana: i am i am not in the liking of how ye treat the elves.
