I decided to re-create one of the stonehearth villagers and well. He doesn’t look to bad but still a bit iffy. Anyway as i was modeling i though the villager looked a bit like an elve. Would evles suit the game i though, could they be a rare race you could stumble upon and find. Could they use magic…

I would definitely like to bring álfar into Norsehearth but not as an enemy faction, the svartálfar are an entirely different matter. Defending the settlement against a night raid of svartálfar would be good-fun/terrifying. However it maybe the case that they would only be encountered in the ‘end g…

I think you meant Scandinavian. When saying Nordic you usually include Finland and they’re not a part of Scandinavia. Ljús/Svartálfar is today a common folktale like Norweigan have trolls and Sweden have elves.

Finland aren’t a part of Scandinavia…? I think your geography’s just a smidge out on that one…

No they aren’t. However when you mention Nordic Countries in general that includes Finland and Baltic countries. Scandinavia is it’s own as in Norway, Sweden, Faraoese, Denmark and Iceland. It’s a easily misunderstanding but yes, Finland doesn’t count as Scandinavia.

I don’t mean to be harsh but i don’t really care. I still stand by my case that it has been adopted into modern fantasy and wouldn’t be a far stretch. Most of my mythology-knowledge comes from Age of Mythology either way XD (it didn’t have elves in it mind you).

I think it’s less an easy misunderstanding and more a definite truth, just check here . And don’t give me the Wikipedia lies thing that everyone seems crazy with, it has admins and everything. And if you don’t believe me, the UN site officially says it is. Apparently it seems to be most Scandinavians…

Apologies! As for elves, I know (well I didn’t, but I know now) that they’re from Nordic mythology, but as other people have stated, they are now very much medieval fantasy style beings nowadays. I’m certain they’d fit really well and I’m pretty sure they mentioned something about maybe creating the…

[image] Smokestacks: if they weren’t modded in already aye… it seems @TheThunderOne has elven aspirations … :smile:

Back to the original post, elves should be added in at some point, but don’t expect to see them for at least a few months after release, and probably at least a couple of months post-dwarfism.

Elves? Would elves suit Stonehearth?
