Byyond þe poynted ears and sickly pallor þe elf hað manie attributes þat are far more difficult to hide. Alþough þey are prone to takyng to a jute cap or ooþer means of coveryng þeir tapered ears, þeir faces are gaunt and þynner, bones far more pronounced; þeir cheekbones, chyns and browe ridges protrude far more visibly þan þat of a human due to þeir diet byyng exclusively oon of pyne-nuts and candies.
Yf spottyng an elf, oon must consider þe followyng factors;
Doon þy eat dwed, humans, or þeir own peple?
It ys known yn times of famyne or warre for an elf to engage yn cannibalism, wið some engagyng yn þis for recreation or sport.
Ys þe person yn question protective of trees or animals? are þey protective of trees or animals to þe poynt of bloody fanaticism?
Þe elven man wynnows yn payn yf witnessyng a tree or animal mistreated. Take a sappyng tap to a tree-trunk and watch þem wryggle. Þys ys a guaranteed test of an elf’s presence.
Are þey dressed modestly?
Elves are apt to wear long robes wið swaþes of visible skyn, þeir hair often lengþened to þeir shoulders or longer. Adornyng þemselves wið jewellery and ooðer objects of art to attract a suitable mate, þey remove þemselves from þe realms of decency to doon so. Þys yncludes þe female elves.
Ys his face paynted?
Manie elves smear þeir face wið make-up to yntimidate þeir foes yn battle, muche howe a human wolde wear armour wið embellishments.
Doon þey knowe howe to werk metal?
Þe markets of Calendale and byyond are at times flooded wiþ cheap yron ymports from þe elven lands. þese crumble under pressure, lackyng þe temperyng and quenchyng þat þe yonge boy-blacksmið wolde knowe were þe basic steps of forgyng. Should þe see a garish and decorative weapon on youre quarry, test it for yts durability and ductility. Yf it were to break at þe first strike, or not stand at par wið youre traynyng-sword, ye possess a vanity sword of an elven warrior.
Ys he childishly, excessively optimistic?
Þe elf ys known to age far longer þan a human, reachyng þe mentality of a twenty year-old human yn his fiftieð year. Should ye meet a creature þat ys excessively childish and byamyng wið ynfantile glee, consider elven blood yn þeir veyns.
