Congratulations! |

Good stuff! And congrats on the anniversary Dagnirion. 'Tis certainly a worthwhile effort.
And, yes, I do remember that piece about Elven music that I once promised to write for Elves of Faerūn. I've not forgotten.  |

-I did. Well, rather, I did until you mentioned it...
-That's, unfortunately, how it goes, though. Plenty of people have volunteered to write various articles, or help in some other fashion, and said help has never materialized, those who volunteered disappearing. Them's the ropes... |

Whats Elves of Faerun?  |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

Aye.
The draft itself is largely written. But I'm not happy with a few of the references I've expanded upon due to a lack of consistent elven-related musical lore. And, unfortunately, I just don't have the time available at the moment to actually sit down and smooth out all those rough patches. Sadly, it'll probably have to wait until early next year.

Congrats...
I should check the Index again and see what I promised (aside from dark Elven realms). I have an idea for a pretty cool story that would mesh my ideas for Drow perfectly with yours (we'd BOTH be right! How cool is that?)
Anyway, I'm not sure if you are including stories - even very short ones, but I'd be happy to pen one. Maybe I can figure out a way to make it seem like an article...
Oh... and just some you know where I'm coming from, the original DotU and the CBoE included a few 'tall tales', which was a way of desribing Elven nature (I vaguely remember one about a young Elven lass who fell in love with a treant).

-I've waited this long, and I doubt that, between now and a few months, I'll complete the project and convert everything into a PDF, sans the material you have. So, in that sense, there's no hurry. 
-It must be said, though, having updated the index yesterday, I am quite impressed on the breadth of information that has been covered thus far. I did not realize it myself. |

-Don't know. After a while, I just erase the 'reservation' that people have on particular topics when nothing is submitted. That way, if someone new comes along, and they want to cover a topic, they're not blocked by someone who reserved a topic long ago, but never contributed anything towards it.

-All of the articles are written from the format of the author, or contributors that the author asked to write an article. In that sense, any article, for the most part, can sound like literature. Some of them (The excellent Frost Elves article, for example) already sound like a story. |

| -Of course, and I forgot to mention, I don't state when I update things. I just do. So, check things periodically, because there will probably be new material. For example, I finished a few Drow settlements and added them during the latter part of last week. I am probably going to finish the Yuirwood today, and work on (and hopefully complete) something else. |

Conbadgerations, Dagnirion! EoF is certainly a extraordinary undertaking. One that, once my thesis is complete (if it doesn't kill me first), I am minded to volunterr my services to (should you want them).
In the mean time you will just have to settle with my thanks, awe and possibly a cookie. |

-I mentioned it elsewhere, but I don't want to be off-topic.
-I am always accepting suggestions for contributions and actual contributions, more importantly. Obviously, any entry that does not have a link to an actual article has yet to be done. There are various topics that have yet to be written that I haven't made entries for in the main index, as well. |
