Bonding With Elves
I was thinking... Instead of sex often as the main factor that keeps the elves non elf partners from aging, it could be their presence and touch as well as the bond of sex that keeps their partner from aging. So if their apart for long their partner will start to age and if an elf lives with non elves as friends they too will live a little bit longer but not forever like a bonded elf and non elf pair would.

That would be an interesting factor, the thing is: how to explain, since artistry is long forgotten and genes don't affect other people, if it are genes people will consider it as special, even get jealous and attack elves in the hope to learn the secret, on the other hand, if it was some permanent form of Artistry that has been made inheritable, and keeps people from aging in a mating- and friendship relation everybody would like to become friends with these creatures (they would be concidered as pets yes, but they would have at least a happy life). The possible abuse of this, let's call it a gift, will eventually destroy elf societies, because all other races almost beg them to come and live with them, so they could live longer.
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about it the more I think that the ever living stuff should be dropped and replaced by long lives. It is better for the Elves.
you should make another race like giants and add animals to the mix of things
