During [[trade]], elves will '''not''' accept wood, wooden items or any goods [[Decoration|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. <s>Bunch of hypocritical bastards.</s> 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. |

They usually bring tamed rare animals, which may be important if you want to have [[Giant eagle|battle eagles]] or some other beasts for your army and zoo. |
− | + | ===Ethics=== | |
− | + | Elven [[ethics]] often differ from those of other races. <s>Although all elven races would much rather mate with a tree</s>. Their position on moral philosophy will likely put them at odds with [[human|humans]], [[goblin|goblins]] and sometimes [[kobold|kobolds]] and animal-people. They are likely to be friendly with [[dwarf|dwarves]], at least until they cut down too many trees or [[trading|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. | |

− | + | 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 . | |
