Since the high elves have sun exposure in felwithe 24/7 and since wood elves live in dark woods with no sun light, how the hell are they more tanned?

It's just how it is. If you remix the word felwithe, you'll get white elf

You assume they start out white? lol Ever think that their skin might naturally be that color..if they were to actually exist.

High-elves (Koada`Dal) came from Takish-Hiz (in Tunaria) and are descendants of the original elf race. King Tearis Thex according to game lore was born there before the down fall of Takish-Haz (that's some high-elf guy that rules Felwithe), and saw it happen as a child. They should be tan as hell, considering Solusek Ro broiled them, and they had to travel a vast desert. Maybe they have a skin condition like the late Michael Jackson.

Wood-elves (Feir`Dal) were created by Tunare, from an oak leaf that fell to the ground. No relation, other than they share Greater Faydark. The tan must be nutrient burn, someone dumped a little too much Miracle Grow around.

wood elves are just darker from always playing in the damn dirt. stanky hippies.

Yeah, I think the 'lore' part is that they were out in nature more, getting some killer tans. While the High Elves were all hanging inside... gettin' high.

I'm guessing that after making the wood elves (usually from pine wood), a mahogany stain is applied before the sealant in order to bring out the natural wood highlights.

It also makes their bards and rogues smooth operators.

In a huge thread somewhere about the naming rules theres one guy who listed alot of those names that mean something as a counter argument that live didnt allow names that meant something. He made a big list that was fun to read if anyone cares to fish it out.

Makes you want to go in deeper and fine more puzzles. Although I am kind of sad, the originality factor kind of faded on me.. lol

Frankly I'm surprised how many people still don't know about all the different plays on words in this game after all these years. For your further entertainment please check out this site for more Everquest "easter eggs".

There are a bunch I know of that aren't listed on this site but it's a fun start!

Since we're on the topic of Easter eggs. I can't find a great picture of it but during Planes of Power I remember being in Plane of Sorrow and there is a repeated image on the walls of a figure kneeling with a cylinder shaped object going from it's hand to it's mouth.

Fellatio? Maybe. Draw your own conclusions! :D

Yeah, you're right Einstein, the fact that there's an extra N COMPLETELY discredits the fact that Fennin Ro is supposed to = Inferno. It was just a complete coincidence, especially considering all the other deities being anagrams (including all of the elemental pantheon).

I would make a remark regarding your lack of intellect but my wit cannot compare to your stupidity.

Yes, it actually does completely discredit it. It would have been so difficult for them to call him Fenin Ro, right?

I mean, your name is an anagram for "I Reek" I just have to leave out an R, right?

Oh, and if you want to keep insulting intelligence Reiker, you are welcome to find me the definition of anagram that allows you to leave letters out during the rearrange.
