This article is about an older version of DF.

Elves are humanoids ruthlessly dedicated to the protection of their concept of nature (focused on trees), and have no qualms about ending any life that isn't a tree.[Verify]

Elven caravans arrive during the spring. During trade, elves will not accept wood, wooden items or any goods decorated with wood. This includes clear glass items, presumably because pearlash (<--potash<--ash<--wood) is used in their production. Elves will, however, gladly trade you their own wooden items. They will not, however, accept their wooden items back. Be careful to not offer them your wooden bins or barrels. 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.

Repeatedly offending elves by attempting to trade wooden items may cause them to attack your fortress with an Template:L.

Elves will generally accept items made of green glass, stone, metal, bone, shell, silk, leather and plant fiber cloth, meat, fish, totems and even plants.

They also accept raw clear glass, raw crystal glass and raw green glass. (Which are classified as gems, possibly this makes the elves ignore the pearlash used in the first two.)

It is currently unknown if they accept crystal glass items (a rather scarce trade good anyway).

Elves seem to always[Verify] bring a considerable number of wood, all kinds of wooden items like barrels and cages, animals, alcohol, plant fiber and its products as well as smaller amounts of weapons and plants.

Elves will only use water to wash themselves -- this is because soap is made from the fat of animals. A lack of soap leads to them always being slightly dirty, presumably to bring themselves closer to nature. This further reinforces the fact that they really are dirty hippies.
