Aquanova	Posted - 22 Dec 2008 : 22:17:22 By the gods, it's been forever since I last visited Candlekeep. So I looked all around the web for an elven (hell, even a Tolkien elvish) word for "deer/stag/cervine," and found nothing. I ask because I'm conceiving things for a homebrew setting, and I really loved the idea of a tauric elf/fey that's half elf/half-deer. Because language building is so darned hard I just plan on taking using FR elves (including their language) and porting them in, and I wanted something I could plug into "___'Tel Quessir."

Lord Karsus	Posted - 23 Dec 2008 : 21:21:18 -HERE's the dictionary. Note that I haven't sent Alaundo an update in a while, and I do have a bit of new stuff. -HERE's the list of Elven Names, too, for good measure. Same as above, with the updating.
Ionik Knight	Posted - 23 Dec 2008 : 21:12:20 I've done some checking and cannot find the Candlekeep Elven Dictionary. I'm embarrassed to ask, but could someone give me link?

Aquanova	Posted - 23 Dec 2008 : 20:55:24 Could work... fluff it so they're say, whitetail deer instead of antelope; and since deer are smaller than horses, a cervine centaur would be smaller than an equine one.... ...now I just need a nice name for them.... Maybe I'll just go the lazy route and go "Aras Tel'Quessir," using the Middle-Earth elvish word for "deer." It seems legit for Faerun elven.

Yeah, I looked over Candlekeep's own compendium of elven words, but the closest I could find desirable would be "Vandor Tel'Quessir," and even then that's pretty vague. quote: Originally posted by Wooly Rupert That's kinda like the hybsil, detailed in Monsters of Faer�n -- except the hybsil is a bit smaller and is part antelope. It is something already in existing Realmslore, though. Yeah, I knew about them, but they're kinda tiny. I was picturing something a bit more majestic. You could make them half-elf, half-hybsil (and hybsil are a type of fey). That way you'd have the size, and still have the basic body type.

Lord Karsus	Posted - 23 Dec 2008 : 06:26:39 -Yeah, 'People of the Woods' sounds nice, but isn't very descriptive.
