Topic: Gliders Elfquest


  
  Elfquest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elfquest (or ElfQuest) is a comic book property created by Wendy and Richard Pini in 1978.
By contrast, the less sympathetic elves, the Gliders and the Go-backs, are depicted as belonging to highly conservative cultures: the Gliders are obsessed with preserving their culture from contaminaton from the outside, and the Go-backs are determined to return to a earlier ideal represented by the Palace, ancestral home to all the elves.
However, in their fanatic conservatism, both the Gliders and the Go-backs have in fact changed even more than the sympathetic tribes, but in far less beneficial ways whether it be the Gliders' decadence or the Go-backs' warlike savagery.

 Elves (Elfquest) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The comic book series Elfquest, created by Wendy and Richard Pini, features a race of elves on the World of Two Moons, searching for their origins and place in the world.
The elves are descended from a spacegoing race known as the High Ones, who were accompanied by small workers (later to evolve into trolls) and winged flitters, later to become the preservers.
All Wolfriders are able to bond with wolves, and have a particularly close connection with them thanks to their wolf blood, but the power exists among other tribes, such as the Gliders, who bond with giant birds.

Elfquest (or ElfQuest - fans have debated the correct punctuation for years) is a comic book property created by Wendy and Richard Pini in 1978.
By contrast, the less sympathetic Elves, The Gliders and the Go Backs are depicted as highly conservative cultures who are obssessed with either preserving their culture from contaminaton from the outside like the former, or like the Go Backs, who are determined to return to a earlier ideal represented with the Palace.
This was a taster for The Elfquest Archives, which began in November 2003, which when complete will reprint the first eight graphic novel collections in glossy format with new coloring and lettering.

 Winnowill - VILLAINS - tribe.net
Truly an AWESOME villainess from the ElfQuest saga, she is tall and slender and beautiful with long fl hair that trails behind her on the floor, ala Crystal Gayle.
ElfQuest goes to some pains to illustrate how healers are of enormous importance because the World of Two Moons is rather hostile to their kind.
ElfQuest is a fantastic fantasy story, well told in graphic novel format and rich in unique details and Winnowill is a work of art as far as villainy go.

Unknown to the Gliders or Wolfriders, trolls in the frozen mountains that surround the palace have been guarding the lost vessel for years.
A mental bond with an animal, (Wolfriders with their wolves, Gliders with their hawks) is not really uncommon if a tribe has such an association, but an elf that can bond with any animal is quite rare.
He is the son of a Recognition between a male Glider, Lairhyn, and a female Wolfrider.

Gliders, and the other part sways toward Strongbow's conviction that there is absolutely nothing good that can come from Blue Mountain.
But ELFQUEST is not specifically a children's story, even though we try to write it to appeal to the widest possible audience.
ELFQUEST is, more than anything else, an expression of how we would like the world to be for ourselves; it is an experiment with ideas.

In addition, the founder of this tribe favoured quantity over quality in reproduction and thus Recognition's influence was significantly reduced to allow for more frequent conceptions.

 LORD VOLL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Over the passage of time, Voll became disillusioned by Winnowill and her "healing" of the Gliders.
Winnowill tried to keep the wolfriders away from Voll and from telling him too much about the outside world in an attempt to keep things the way that they were - with her as the true leader of the Gliders.
However, when Voll was awakened by Leetah and saw Petalwing he realized that he had kept his people inside rather than venturing outside like they once did and quickly remedied the situation.

 The Alternaverse Guide to Soulnames
While the Gliders never developed the concept of a soulname, they always maintained just enough of a sense of "separate-ness" that prevented the creation of a true collective.
In canon ElfQuest, Skywise and Cutter are the only known example of a spontaneous discovery of soulnames that does not actually lead to genetic Recognition (for obvious reasons).

The Gliders were a small cartel of High-Ones' Firstborn, who locked themselves away in the subterranean caverns of Blue Mountain in an attempt to protect themselves from the vicious world outside.
Winnowill assumed total control of her people, using their powers to attempt to create a new palace, a great egg, from where the past could be erased (especially the cross-breed Wolfriders), and pure elves could return to the stars.
Her twisted dreams ended in the destruction of the six spheres of the egg, in which the Gliders died - leaving only her, Tyldak, Egg and Door.

Gliders are highly attractive (if somewhat sinister) individuals; if anything, an Awe Factor of 12 might apply to someone who had never seen an Elf up close before.
A member of the Glider Elf RCC automatically has the psionic powers of float and levitation, which may be used at one-tenth cost, to a minimum of 1 ISP.
Gliders of other OCCs keep their basic powers, but become minor psionics (unless a psionic OCC) and do not gain any extra powers at higher levels (unless a psionic OCC, in which case powers and ISP are gained as normal).

The type of den that the most elves in this holt live in is the type of den, that the wolfriders in ElfQuest use; that is, a tree shaped through the years into living space.
Difference is: This holt is kind of big, and we actually have three trees (in a triangle around the middle plaza and so wowen into each other, that they almost seem like one big tree).
These include: One big bird (one of our gliders' bird; see his describtion here), a longtooth and several zwoots (primarily used by visiting desert people, but also used by the hunters to trag home their prey, when they have been on longer hunting trips).

Elfquest - Fire and Flight has to be one of my favourite fantasy books that I have read.
If you are new to the world of elfquest this is the third book in the elfquest line.Before it comes the books Fire and Flight(book #1)and the Forbbiden Grove(book #2).
In a slightly smaller format than the original paperback volumes, the Elfquest tales that occurred between the great espiodes of the elfin adventures on The World of Two Moons are all presented in full, glaring colors that really blinds your eyes which are more accustomed to the gentler tones of the colorized comic-book collections.

From his father he had inherited the ability to float like a Glider, and when Skywise brought Aroree into the holt when she came looking for preservers, Aroree saw the little cub float and snatched him, intending to present him to Winnowill as replacement for herself.
Winnowill accepted this trade, but in order to have use of the child, she needed to remove his wolf blood, as his mortality was unacceptable.

ElfQuest is the brain child of Wendy and Richard Pini, and it combines beautiful artwork with mature, well developed stories and characters.
ElfQuest was one of the first independently published comics in America and made its premier in 1978 after several years in development.
The other elf tribes within this world are the Gliders, so named because they ride giant birds and can fly using the powers of telekinesis, and the Go-Backs, named for their own quest to go back to the home of their elvish ancestors.

 Moonshade of Two Moons MUSH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
What is known about her from the series is that she is a tanner of consummate skill; she is the lifemate of Strongbow, and the mother of Dart and the now-deceased Crescent.
She was astonished that her son Dart chose to stay in the village to teach the Sun Folk how to hunt and fight, but accepted this, and travelled out with her tribe and at her lifemate's side.
After that second conflict with the Gliders, however, Moonshade was one of those among the Wolfriders who felt a need to try to return to a more sheltered existence.

 Lord Voll   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Lord Voll was the leader of the Gliders of Blue Mountain and firstborn of the High Ones.
The Gliders avoided contact with the outside world as much as possible, with only the Chosen Eight ever leaving the Confines of Blue Mountain to hunt for food.
Winnowill didn't like this state of affairs, she wanted the Gliders to stay as they were and to keep them far from the tainting outside world, and to get rid of the Wolfriders she knocked Lord Voll unconscious with a special sending so the road was free for her to do what she wanted.

 WARP ELFQUEST #15   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
By far, the majority of letters that come into ELFQUEST do praise the book; were I to give printed space to letters of compliment and letters of criticism (constructive and otherwise) in proportion to the numbers of each we receive, it would probably be embarrassing.
What I'm trying to say is that ELFQUEST isn't some old comic book, it is a new member in that elite field of timeless and beautiful stories that are inaccurately labeled children's books.
All this adverse comment on the way the Gliders live is due to our human prejudices; we aren't really equipped to judge what they are doing is right for them.

 Adventures of a Gay Geek » Archives » Tribute: Elfquest - The Best Of Fantasy Comics
I don’t know what got me thinking of Elfquest tonight, but I wanted to share some thoughts about one of the most influential comic books of my childhood.
Elfquest seems to define what those young feelings were.
Later, in the book In All But Blood, the Pinis and other writers explore the relationship of Cutter and Skywise, even suggesting that the two are “recognized.” Recognition amongst the Elves of the World of Two Moons is an instinctive bond that two elves share with each other to ensure the birthing of children.

The Gliders are a very tightknit bunch (after all they weren't with many and were stuck which each other in a mountian, you tend to get close to the people your in with then) so they probably didn't have a 'need' for soulnames either..
In reverse the reason the Gliders weren't having any recognition is because they weren't in need of replacements.
I remember Strongbow had to cut off sending with Timmain because her ability was so strong she could have wrested his soulname from him had he continued, and considering Strongbow's ability that's pretty impressive ^_^ he never even had that problem with Winni.
