Elf - the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The elf makes many appearances in ballads of English and Scottish origin, as well as folk tales, many involving trips to Elfland, a mystical realm which is sometimes a eerie and unpleasant place. Thomas the Rhymer", but examples exist of the elf has a sinister character, as in the tale of Childe Rowland, or the ballad "Lady Isabel of the Elf-Knight", in which the Elf-Knight bears away Isabel to murder her. However, the elf legends are in fact, even older than Saint Nicholas, the bishop on whom Santa Claus was originally based. www.world-knowledge-encyclopedia.com /?t=Elf   (1893 words)

Elf movies released in 2000s In Scandinavian folklore, which is a later blend of Norse mythology and elements of Christian mythology, ''an elf'' is called ''en elve'' in Danish, ''en alv'' in Norwegian, and ''en alv'' or ''en älva'' in Swedish languageSwedish (the first is masculine, the second feminine). Little documentation exists on English rustic beliefs and terminology before the 19th century, but it seems that the term ''elf'' was used, at least on some occasions or in some places, for various kinds of uncanny wights, either human-sized or smaller. The term 'dark elf' is a reference to their coloured skin, not as a reference to being 'evil'. www.artbrain.co.uk /2000-films/elf.htm   (2613 words)

According to Tolkien's Letters, a slain Elf's spirit simply returns to physical life, in an exact duplicate of his/her former body, after an indefinite period of meditation and self-reflection within the Halls of Mandos; which is elven Elysium within the "Undying Lands" of Aman. Elves have become standardized staple characters of modern fantasy to such an extent that breaking the norms for how an elf is supposed to be and behave has become an end in itself for certain works of fantasy. www.blinkbits.com /blinks/elf   (5018 words)

Object Files (ELF relocation entries are all relative to symbols, so a section symbol is necessary to indicate that an item is relocated relative to one of the sections in the file.) A file entry is a pseudo-symbol containing the name of the source file. An ELF executable file has the same general format as a relocatable ELF, but the data are arranged so that the file can be mapped into memory and run. ELF files extend the ``header in the address space'' trick used in QMAGIC a.out files to make the executable files as compact as possible at the cost of some slop in the address space. www.iecc.com /linker/linker03.html   (11835 words)

Dwarf The dwarfs had first been created and had quickened in Ymer‚Äôs flesh, and were then maggots; but now, by the decision of the gods, they got the understanding and likeness of men, but still had to dwell in the earth and in rocks. Tyre : In ancient Jewish scriptures, dwarfs were numerous in the towers of the fortresses of Tyre. This fits rather well into the picture of the dwarf, as neanderthals were on average shorter but burlier than humans and possessed stronger features (broader noses, more pronounced brow ridges, and so forth), which could be seen by ancient humans as deformities (dwarves are commonly said to be "deformed"). www.sfcrowsnest.com /scifinder/a/Dwarf.php   (1341 words)

Stabs versus dwarf The Sun compilers are currently undergoing a transition from stabs to dwarf. Dwarf is actively being developed by a group of engineers working on compilers and tools.

Armageddon-Roleplaying-Racial Roleplaying-The Elven Persona An elf who is born without a tribe would, because they has no-one else to identify with, have an overwhelming "me" versus "them" mentality. The elf will create tiny controlled situations where the outsider is given the chance to steal from or harm the elf or their social circle in a way that would not be too dangerous or serious. Without some form of companionship (whether it be someone to keep their eyes and ears out for the elf, or the shopkeeper on the corner store who sells the elf food) life for a tribeless city elf is difficult. www.armageddon.org /rp/racial/elven.html   (2880 words)

Specialist Games Forum - Dark Elf Sea Dragon Cloak and Shield...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Thus, a dark elf cloak with light armour gives a 5+/4+ save, because the light armour doesn't stack, but a dark elf cloak with a shield gives a 4+/3+, because the shield does. Also keep in mind that the Dark Elf warband is restricted to 12 max, with their cheapest (and arguably most useless) troop being the Cold One Beasthound for 30gc. However, since we all know that any type of elf (be they wood, high, shadow or druchii) is better than a dwarf, it really is a moot point, and we should move on to something else... www.specialist-games.com /forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=800   (2528 words)

Fight: Skorri v Cragmoor - Alleria Indeed, as the ring announcer had labelled them, the two fighters were simply referred to as either elf or dwarf rather than their names by those placing bets with the bookies. Cragmoor couldn't help but notice that the elf had dropped to his knees (he was now just 1/2 a foot taller than he) and instinctively jumped back. This fall was something that the dwarf could easly withstand but it was a great first move which showed promiss for the elf. www.alleria.com /forums/showthread.php?t=2613   (975 words)

Norse dwarves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They are also vengeful and Hervarar saga relates that when king Svafrlami had forced the dwarves Dvalin and Durin to forge the magic sword Tyrfing, the dwarves cursed it so it would bring death to Svafrlami and cause three evil deeds. They could also be minor deities, much like the (light) elves, which suggests how they could have acquired the name of dark or fl elves (see also: elf versus dwarf). Prior to his work, Dwarfs was the common form of the plural (similarly Elfs and Elves). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Norse_dwarves   (604 words)

Instead of all out war, good versus evil, the battles are fueled by ancient wars and grudges between specific types of armies in an unending war.

Birthday Celebrations by Nieriel Raina   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The dwarf stared at the elf for a moment as if his pointed ears had suddenly sprouted wings. The elf and dwarf began once more trading insult for colorful insult, bringing smiles to the faces of those who knew the two friends well, while concern and distress marked the faces of those who did not know of the strange rituals the peculiar friends shared. With his explanation given, the King waited for the outburst of indignation from the dwarf and the smug remarks from the elf. www.warofthering.net /fanfiction/viewstory.php?sid=3228   (1847 words)

Dwarf and XML Dwarf and XML I've been having a hard time sifting through huge dwarf dump files in the last year or so, especially some of the huge dumps from the C++ standard template library.

Dragonsfoot :: View topic - The Oft Maligned Elf It has been my experience, in 1st edition, that the allure of the elf fades quickly when the Player comes to realise his or her PC cannot be returned to life via raise dead (or resurrection, if one happens to know a 16th level High Priest). Given that they frequently have poor HP scores, also, it is a true devote of the race that will chose such a character (as opposed to a "min/max-ing" type). As to the issue of elves and level limits (*sigh* another overwrought discussion of level limits looms over the horizon and threatens to doom this thread), consider that in our world, aspen trees don't grow as big or as tall as redwoods. www.dragonsfoot.org /forums/viewtopic.php?t=3813   (2079 words)

Munchkin Errata Unfortunately, this means that if you lose or change your class or race, you don't start getting bonuses from other items you have in play that are usable by your new race or class, including items that anyone could use.

The Elf then goes into combat with anything but Squidzilla and is subsequently Cursed by another player to lose his race. www.sjgames.com /errata/munchkin.html   (5414 words)

Languages - Praemal Unlike the language of the elves, Dwarvish has remained almost entirely unchanged in the thousands of years of dwarven civilization. A modern dwarf could find an ancient scroll of her most distant ancestors and would be able to understand the vast majority of it. Dark elves, who don't usually use this diphthong, would pronounce it like "eye." The more "humanized" the elf, the less likely he is to stress the vowel sounds as much as an elf more immersed in his own culture (a city elf versus one living in the woods among other elves). www.lby3.com /dnd/index.php/Language   (1459 words)
