Discworld

	Elf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As such, elves appear similar to the animistic belief in spirits of nature and of the deceased, common to nearly all human religions; something that, on a side note, is true also for the Old Norse belief in fylgjur and vörðar ("follower" and "warden" spirits, respectively).
		Elves who are not dark-elves are referred to by Snorri as "light-elves" (ljósálfar); this usage has often been connected with elves' etymological connection with whiteness.
		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.

	The Adrenaline Vault Review of Discworld Noir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Discworld Noir's interface doesn't have much in the way of innovation, but there's something to be said for the kind of simplicity that doesn't feel simplistic, if you know what I mean.
		Discworld Noir is a point-and-click adventure in the most traditional sense, and as such carries with it all the genre's strengths and weaknesses in terms of gameplay.
		Discworld Noir is extremely well-written, practically bursting with Terry Pratchett's brand of humor, and perfectly incorporates elements of Discworld's fantasy realm with a gritty, film noir style.

		Elves are not welcome on the Discworld, because they're nasty, clever, cruel, vicious, and far too glamorous for anyone to resist.
		Ankh-Morepork is the largest city on the Discworld, home to Unseen University and a wide variety of things which are inexplicable to varying degrees.

		The charm of Discworld lies in Pratchett's ability as a satirist - nothing is safe from Pratchett's pen, from gods to demons to wizards, government, trade economics, death, diversity or ignorance.

	Review of Carpe Jugulum, Terry Pratchett
		The Discworld is generally a good place for stories, especially as the books reveal new nooks and crannies of the world with their characteristic wit and style.
		, one of the elements stressed was how elves were different from current popular conceptions by their nature; here, the vampires have deliberately remade themselves—into considerably more formidable enemies.
		Pratchett's books make up much of my "frequently re-read, especially in times of stress" list, thanks to their strong and well-drawn characters, fast-paced plots, eye for the absurdity inherent in much of life, wit and humor, and simple bedrock humanity.

		In Lords and Ladies, Terry Pratchett returns to Lancre along with the Discworld's most famous triad of witches: the formidable Granny Weatherwax, the cheerful and bawdy Nanny Ogg, and the introspective and insecure Magrat Garlick.
		Elves have style; elves have glamor; elves are good.
		Pratchett's elves are nasty critters, and he doesn't mind saying so, but his point of view is supported by the folklore which indicates that elves consider human beings as a kind of animal made available for their amusement.
