This article is about an older version of DF.
A medium-sized creature dedicated to the ruthless protection of nature.

Elves are smelly, stuck-up, arrogant tree fondling hippies humanoids dedicated to the protection of their concept of nature (focused on trees).

Elven caravans arrive in late spring. During trade, elves will not accept wood, wooden items or any goods decorated with wood. This includes clear and crystal glass items and soap, because wood-derived lye and pearlash are used in their production, however, ash-glazed items are acceptable. Elves will, however, gladly trade you their own wooden items. They will not, however, accept their wooden items back. Bunch of hypocritical bastards. Be careful to not offer them your wooden bins or barrels, or quivers containing wooden bolts/arrows. If the contents of bins are marked for trade individually, and are not wooden themselves, the elves will not care that you used wooden bins to haul the goods to the depot. You may also steal from them or even kill/torture them without any known repercussions as they cannot fight back.

Offending elves by attempting to trade wooden items quickly causes them to refuse further trade this year and leave early.
Repeatedly offending elves by attempting to trade wooden items may cause them to attack your fortress with an ambush.

Elves will generally accept items made of green glass, stone, metal, bone and other refuse, silk, leather, plant fiber cloth, meat and fish, totems, and even plants. They will accept animals in trade, as long as their cages are not wooden.

They also accept raw clear glass and raw crystal glass, despite the fact that they are made using pearlash.

Elves bring only plant-related and wood-related items, caged animals, various types of clay and sand.

  • List of what you can expect in an average elven caravan:
    • Wooden bins of rope reed raw cloth (depending on how many bins of these you have already). Buy a few for moods, but leather is generally less expensive and more dwarven.
    • Wood logs (quantity depending on how many logs you have already : lower means more). Always useful.
    • Various aboveground plants, with sometimes whip vine and sun berries or their byproducts
    • Aboveground plant byproducts : golden salve, gnomeblight, alcohol, flour, dye, seeds. Some are useless, some are quite useful such as sun berry or whip wine seeds.
    • Wooden furniture : coffers, cages, bags, barrels. They all are useful.
    • Soil types : sand in bags, various types of clay. Can be useful.
    • A few exotic aboveground tame animals in cages. May be a disappointingly useless animal or an incredibly awesome one.
    • Caged tame vermin, which are an annoyance cause you don't see them in cages and they have no real use.
    • Rope reed clothing, mildly useful if you are in lack of clothing and didn't bothered setting up a clothing industry,
    • Wooden crutches and splints which are pretty handy if you didn't made any
    • Wooden armor and weapons, which are generally useless unless you are trap-happy or lack metal
    • And finally plenty of useless crap which has no use at all and should be dumped into magma as soon as possible (along with the entire caravan if you are inclined to evil and want to laugh a bit), such as cloth crafts, wooden crafts, wooden toys, wooden instruments.


Ethics

Elven ethics often differ from those of other races. Although all elven races would much rather mate with a tree. Their position on moral philosophy will likely put them at odds with humans, goblins and sometimes kobolds and animal-people. They are likely to be friendly with dwarves, at least until they cut down too many trees or seize too many items. Elves are the only race which wholeheartedly accepts the devouring of enemy combatants. Looking in legends mode shows that an elven combatant will sometimes devour the other person they were fighting when they win. In spite of this, elves refuse to butcher and consume intelligent beings. Elves find torturing as an example acceptable, but condemn other forms of torture and consider torturing for information misguided. To elves, keeping any trophy of any kind is an unthinkable act. Elves begrudgingly allow for killing animals when done in self-defense, and the killing of other elves by an elf is justified if there is an extremely good reason for doing so. For elves, the killing of plants is unthinkable. On the other hand, the killing of neutral beings and enemies is acceptable. Elves never offer serious or capital punishment to criminals; instead, elves found to have committed vandalism, trespassing or theft are reprimanded, while those convicted of treason, lying, breaking oaths, assault or participating in slavery are forced into exile.

D4Dwarf.png This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Elves have access only to wood , they may have too much wood and wooden items(crap) so when trading they don't want their wood back , all they want is your precious metals and other non-wooden stuff ! Or maybe they are just smelly tree fondling hippies .
