One of the first of the Elven groups to settle on Eridanus, circa -20,000
SR, and are by far the most advanced of the Elves in regards to Magic.
High Elves originally discovered the use of what has become known as Elven
High Magic, an art of magic that comes from subtly singing magic from the
living matter around them. Where other elves prefer a balance of magical
and non-magical combat, High Elves are much more akin to the use of magic.
High Elves are among the taller of the elven subspecies, and like all
elves have a very lengthy lifespan. Typically High Elves range anywhere
from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 feet with weights ranging from 85 to 130 pounds. High
Elves pride themselves on their beautiful skin that comes in shades of
bronze, and their hair is almost always a stunning contrast with their
skin in beautiful blondes, coppers, or black. Most High Elves have eyes in
shades of green or gold, however some human like colors have been
reported.
Socially, High Elves are the most civilized of the Elves and prefer an
isolated existence with their colonies typically far out of reach of
prying eyes and hands. The greatest of the High Elven cities was the
city of Mythantromir. Sadly, the city fell during the Dhaeraow Wars to
an unknown, but suspected otherworldly cataclysm. It has also been said
that High Elves are an extremely haughty group and that for this reason,
they prefer to remain isolated from N'Tel'Quessir, or those Not of the
People, Non-Elves.
I have been working on my help files for the last few days, removing all the defunct ones and trying to add in some new ones and fix up some of the others t be more relevant to the game im making.
What i have realized is that i suck at writing descriptive help files for things like classes and races. While i know in my mind what they should be, putting that into text can be somewhat hard.
Q> From your stand point, what sort of information would you include in the helpfile for races and classes (if you posses these things of course) in your game.
Here is one help entry for one of my races, anything more is should add or do you consider there to be enough information. Errrr dont pick apart the grammar, i just noticed a few things that dont make sence.
