"Give a Fig" is an acceptable euphemism here, PDK. ;)
Elaine, not a question but just a wish for you - that you are free to write whatever sustains you, creatively and financially.
A wish for me is that this might someday include an Elaine Cunningham / Elaith Craulnober novel. Just revisiting Elfshadow again, and enjoying it still. Thank you. |

I've been taking a "wait and see" attitude toward 4e Realms. But as time goes on, I've been getting increasingly involved in other projects and really haven't had the time to get to know 4e.
The more time passes, the less likely it becomes that I'll return. It has been years since I've published a new book in the Realms. New products replace older ones on the shelves, readers come and go. I'm getting very close to Grubb-and-Novak status.
That really doesn't answer your question, but it's as close as I can get, with the info I have. |

Thanks for the good wishes--both of them. I don't know what become of Elaith during the spellplague and the time shift. I'd like to think he survived, even though he really is nearing the end of the life span 3.5 allots to elves. |

There's a 3-level Prestige Class in the 3.5 book "Races of the Wild" called The Ruathar (i.e. the 3.5 book on halflings and elves) that increases one's lifespan by 50%... the class ability is received at the third level, and it's a ceremony called "Arvandor's Grace". According to the PrC fluff info, Ruathar means "Elf-friend" in elven, so these powers are often granted on non-elves that have proven themselves to be allies to the elves, but the text says that "Even elf ruathars can receive Arvandor's Grace: such characters are astonishingly long-lived."

No, no, no, no, no! that answers my question perfectly actually, and I completely understand your situation. I'm actually astonished and humbled by your grace Elaine: you're still visiting these boards and talking to us after all these years, and this speaks of your love for the (old) Realms. A lot of authors/designers don't even talk to us if there is no FR book deal in the wings... |

Without going way off-topic and also without trying to sound overly harsh, there certainly does seem to be a huge difference between the 'Old Gaurd' and the 'new team', in terms of fan-interaction.
Whereas the 'old-timers' shared our wonder of the incredibly vast world that is FR, the new kids on the block appear to be 'put-off' by the amount of research required to work-on FR products.
<sigh>
PDK makes a very insightful comment about the commitment certain designer/authors have to the Realms, by noting their participation here. Like late-night-television talk-shows, some appear only when they are 'hawking' something. 
Thank You for remainiig a class act, Elaine. |

Thanks for the kind words, Markustay. 
In all fairness, however, I should point out that divisions between old/new writers and designers are not easily drawn. People have different reasons for frequenting Candlekeep or staying away.
I've taken long leaves of absence myself from time to time, sometimes when I felt the board was shifting toward a collectively negative tone, or when I was fielding too many questions that I couldn't answer, either because of NDA or because they required me to speculate, and thus publish non-canon lore. Sometimes I take time away from the internet and focus intensely on writing.
So judging from my experience, it may not be accurate to assume that those who do not participate here are not interested in the Realms.

A good attitude to keep in mind, Elaine. Thank you.
A question about your novel, Elfsong (my current bedside book - not because it makes me nod off, simply because I prefer to read in bed):
Was the name of Wyn Ashgrove, the elven minstrel, inspired by the Welsh folk melody, "The Ash Grove"? I know you are fond of traditional music, so it seems possible. (Also, that particular melody sticks in my head to a degree that I wind up writing most of my bard's lyrics to its meter!) |

Yep! And the connection was further underscored by the use of the name "Wyn"--a common Welsh given name.
"The Ash Grove" is one of my favorite melodies. There are a number of real-world musical references in Elfsong. Over the years a few musicologists have been amused by the inclusion of the melody "The Armed Man" as part of the spellsong, because "L'homme arme" was an exceedingly popular medieval melody, one that found its way into a great deal of polyphonic music, sacred as well as secular. |

The FR elves WERE able to life for hundreds of years, but I believe their life span was considerably shortened in 3.5. I do not know what their expected life span is in 4th edition. Anyone? Anyone?

The "average" max age for elves in 3.5 is 350+4d% (or between 354-750 years old).
Age has no factor in fourth edition and is not even given for many of the races. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Ooh me, me! I know! Pick me!
Average lifespans are provided for all the races in the Player's Handbook (except, oddly, for tieflings, unless I'm just overlooking it), and for drow and genasi in the Forgotten Realms Player's Guide.
It seems safe to assume that, as with racial powers and other material not explicitly repeated from the PH, that Realms elves have lifespans similar to those given in the core source (and the wording in the drow entry seems to support that assumption).
Thus:
Moon/Silver and Sun/Gold Elves (eladrin) "enjoy youth and health for most of their lives and don't begin to feel the effects of age until the middle of their third century. Most live for over 300 years, and even at the end they suffer few of the infirmities of old age." (PH, p. 39)
Wood and Wild Elves (elves) "mature at about the same rate as humans, but show few effects of age past adulthood. The first sign of an elf's advancing age is typically a change in hair color--sometimes graying but usually darkening or taking on more autumnal hues. Most elves live to be well over 200 years old and remain vigorous almost to the end." (PH, p. 41)
and
Dark Elves (drow) "general[ly]...have lives spans somewhat longer than those of their surface-dwelling cousins. Drow who manage to avoid dying a violent death can live for well over 200 years, and exceptional members of the race measure their age in centuries." (FRPG, p. 9)
I wonder how my hair would look with "more autumnal hues" instead of with this Reed Richards thing I've got going on.

Thanks for the info. Okay, hate to say this, but by 4e standards, Elaith is WAY past his expiration date. |

Yes, Chris, they give that information. But they don't give an idea of how long their elderly are. When's middle age? They throw out a couple of numbers, but don't hint at the big question.
Not too mention, given the ruleset, there's no ill effects for aging. So, even if Elaith is 700 years past the 300 mentioned in the book, he's still able to function the same as a 100 year old elf.
Ugh, so didn't want to rant on Elaine's thread.
Elaine, how's the work going on the Pathfinder books?
Also, any details you can give us on Blood Oath? |

Why, yes--yes I can, and thanks for asking. I'll type quickly, so I can post this before the off-topic police knock on my door.
BLOOD OATH is a standalone novel focusing on the adventures (and misadventures) of Zekk, a Jedi Knight best known for his uncertain relationship with Jaina Solo. The story picks up right after the events of INVINCIBLE, the last book in the Legacy of the Force series, when Zekk went missing in action. The search for him uncovers something . . . else. Something that has been kept hidden for thousands of years.
Also, Zekk gets to take names and kick asteroids. Good times.
The Pathfinder Journal fiction is coming along well. The first episode, which I believe will be published in the January edition, has been completed. I'll be finishing up the other five episodes in October. I like Channa Ti, the first person POV character. She's a half-elf druid with an affinity for water and a strong identification with nature's preditors. Her heritage is a bit odd--a human woman from Geb and a male elf from the Mwangi Expanse. She was raised by elves and it's pretty apparent that she doesn't like them, but she doesn't go into personal history. She's bad-ass when she has to be, more curious than a Siamese, and keeps going despite the fact that she expects to be betrayed (and is seldom disappointed.) |

Heh.
Ouch. First a smile, then a flash-back to zucchini season, during which I made, among many many other things, no fewer than four chocolate zucchini bundt cakes. The zucchini vines in my garden are no longer spewing forth short green baseball bats on a daily basis, all (spellplague surviving) gods be praised.
But Pathfinder really isn't a zucchini kind of setting, is it? It's more along the lines of dark chocolate served straight up: probably an intense chocolate cake with fudge frosting, maybe some espresso-spiked ganache filling to add an edge.

| -Elaine, you can ask other people, I officially "gave up" on Star Wars novels upon the completion of Invincible- to make a long story short, let's just say that I was a big fan of Jacen Solo, and the recent efforts in the Star Wars universe to make things like the Force more morally ambiguous, rather than an unrealistic Black/White down the middle separation. Anyway, because it's you, I think I'll pick up Blood Oath. No one else would I have done that for. No one else. |

I don't know what to say. Thank you.
FYI, Paul Kemp is also writing a Star Wars novel. It's scheduled for early 2010. |
