unicorn

Unicorns is a unicorn, a mysterious creature in the legend. It is often described as a slender white horse with a helix angle in front of the forehead (this is also a feature of the unicorn). There are many different statements about the shape of unicorns. Some say it is like a big horse with a horn on its head, a creature that is difficult to tame. Some people think it is a goat-like creature, a unicorn, a sacred creature, and some people even believe in unicorns. The ancient Roman naturalist Plyss described the unicorns as elephants, lion tails, upper body like goats, and a black spiral on the head. It is a fierce monster. At 380BC, a Greek philosopher Ctessias made a general form of unicorns. He said that unicorns is a wild animal in India with a white body, a purple head, blue eyes, a straight, hard corner, white at the bottom, black in the middle, and red at the top. This may be formed by the formation of a single-horned fairy (the unicorn is also called unicorn).

Modern sayings include the illusions of different localities, from primitive goat-like creatures to pure and beautiful beasts. It can be transformed into different sizes and colors, from ivory white or ebony deep black or even rainbow colors, to escape the hunter's pursuit. Sometimes it is like a flying horse. However, the basic concept of unicorn has not changed, it is noble, arrogant and pure, and of course it has a long angle in front of it. In fact, the different saying is that each local culture is different. It is called Kirin in Japan and China and is one of the "four spirits". "Unicorn" is derived from the Hebrew word "re‘em, the early ancient translation was "monokeros", meaning "unicorn", and later turned into English "unicorn".

The corner of Unicorns has healing power to filter out dust and poisons to prevent poisoning and other diseases and even immortality. Therefore, the European royal aristocracy prevailed in a cup made of a single angle, because the legend can test whether there is poison. The unicorn's horn is regarded as a detoxification treasure in Europe, and it is very effective in treating abdominal pain. It is such that unicorn becomes the target of the hunter. The idea of ​​healing ability may stem from a medieval story. Legend has it that there are many animals surrounding a pool in the middle of the night. But the water is poisonous, they can't drink until a unicorn appears. It gently rubbed the corners of the pool, and the toxic water immediately turned back to clean and clean. The unicorn is a mythical creature in fantasy, but some archaeologists say that the horn of the unicorn is actually the tooth of the narwhal genus "unicorn" in the Arctic sea.

In many Western oil paintings, I have seen pictures of unicorns and girls from time to time. Ancient Roman naturalist Plyss said that "the unicorn is a fierce monster. It is impossible to produce it. And they are quite sensitive. When they find a change, they immediately escape. But the unicorn likes it. Pure and innocent, and very tempted by beautiful girls, so only pure girls can capture it." Hunters usually put a virgin in the wild, the unicorn will approach the girl, and then horn into the girl's belly At this time, the girl can take the opportunity to cut off its corner.

Beihai Giant Demon

Kraken (Beihai Giant Demon)

"Under the unfathomable bottom of the sea, the North Sea monster is sleeping... It has been sleeping for centuries and will continue to rest on the huge sea worms until one day the flame of the sea worm will warm the sea floor / people and angels will witness / It rises from the bottom of the sea with a roar, and everything on the sea will be destroyed." - Alfred the Great

The North Sea monster is a huge sea monster in Norse mythology (it is said that it is 15 meters long). It usually floats on the bottom of the sea and occasionally floats on the water. When it floats on the surface, some sailors mistakenly regard its body as A small island, even on this "small island", camped on it, and died at the bottom of the sea when it sank. The Beihai giant demon has a huge tentacles that can grab the giant ship into the seabed, so some people think that its prototype is actually the king squid near the Norwegian Sea. Just like the giant pythons in the Nordic mythology (see MidgardSerpent), the North Sea monsters will surface when the end of the world comes.

Medusa

There is a king in Argos in ancient Greece. One day, he went to the temple to ask God for a question, and the resulting **** said that he would die from his daughter and the hand of the grandson Perseus born of Zeus.

The old man was very scared when he heard this. He stunned his heart, licking his daughter and Perseus to sleep, putting the mother and son into a big box and then throwing it into the sea. He thought that this big box would not be swallowed up by the stormy waves, and the mother and the child would starve to death sooner or later. Unexpectedly, Zeus secretly sheltered the mother and son. He made the wooden box across the sea and went to an island country and was rescued by a fisherman. The king on the island was very surprised to hear about this incident, and when he saw that Little Perseus was alive, he accepted him as a adopted child.

The king loved his adopted son very much. He carefully cultivated Perseus and invited him to the various fields on the island. Perseus may have been born to be smart and eager to learn because of the bloodline of God. Within a few years, there is another hero who can do everything in the world.

The heroic performance of Perseus was quickly passed to heaven, one day, the goddess of wisdom Athena (she is Zeus’s favorite daughter, the most admired goddess of the Greeks, especially the Athenians, and the city of Athens is named after her. ) I found him and asked Perseus to take the head of the banshee Medusa to her. Perseus was a man who liked to meet the challenge. He happily agreed to the goddess' request.

Medusa turned out to be a very beautiful girl with a shawl hair. But she grows up and looks good, and she does not compare herself with the goddess of wisdom. Athena was irritated, and she cast spells that turned Medusa's hair into countless snakes. Beauty has become a monster. What is even more frightening is that her eyes are shining with horrible light. Anyone who only looks at her will immediately become a lifeless stone.

In order to get Medusa's head, Perseus managed to get three treasures: a pair of flying shoes that can be used to make a cloud, a leather bag, and a dog-skin helmet that can be invisible on the head. With these three treasures, and then take his bronze shield and knives, Perseus got up and flew to the place where Medusa was in charge.

When arriving, Medusa was sleeping. Perseus did not dare to look at her. He found the position of Medusa from the reflection of the bronze shield, and went forward, cutting down the head of her poisonous snake. Perseus put the **** head into the leather sac and quickly flew into the sky. At this time, the two female demon who lived with Medusa were awakened, and they found that their companions were killed and rushed to chase. Fortunately, Perseus was wearing a dog's leather helmet and was not discovered by them. At this time, a Pegasus was changed from Medusa's body, and Perseus immediately jumped up, and the Pegasus shouted and flew away.

Pegasus

One of the mythological stories of Issobia. When the Perseus with Perseus killed the head of Medusa, the blood flowed from the neck of Medusa to the sea and the hippocampus, so a winged white Pegasus accelerated. Sri Lanka jumped out. Haiwang was once considered the father of Pei's. Legend has it that Athena has captured the Pegasus and brought it to the mountains of Helicon, which belongs to the mountains of Muses. When it leaps, the hoof of the Accord is kicked to the mountain, and the famous Hippocrene spring begins. It came out, when the legend Hippocrene was the source of inspiration for all poets. Later, Pegasus became a Greek port city, a good friend of the young warrior of Corinth, Bellerophon. With the help of Pegasus, Berelomin completed the assassination of a terrible monster Kemi. The task of Chimera (lion head, sheep body, dragon tail) and other great achievements, and finally Berelo Ming became very arrogant, wanting to fly over the Olympus Mountain to join the gods, Zeus sent a Only the cattle flies to go to the speeding up, let Bere Luoming fall from the horse to death, and leave the Pegasus to stay in heaven. (Note: The Kingdom of Isopia is not the current Ethiopia, but a dynasty on the north coast of Africa).

Griffon

"If you are a tiger," which word is more appropriate to describe the lion beast? They have the body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and are quite famous creatures. The lion beast is the real hegemon of the sky, compared to the dragons who are more willing to guard their treasures in the cave or eat the suitors in the princess's tower and refuse to fly in the sky.

【origin】

The lions and beasts originated from when and where no one was known. The sages thought it was the result of a magical experiment in ancient civilizations, but it seems that the lions and beasts have appeared in poets and old people before the written records. Down the legendary story. Perhaps like a man, the lion beast is a creature created by the extraordinary magic of nature. The lion beast in the literature first appeared in the myth of the ancient Akkad (Babylon-Assyrian). In the legend that Malduk killed the monster and thus sealed the god, the lion beast was the third behemoth he killed. . After that, the image of the lion beast appeared in Greek mythology. It was the **** of the gods Zeus, the sun **** Apollo, and the vengeful goddess Nemesis. The lion beast of the Nemesis pull was different from the same coat. The whole body is black like a crow. The Latin variant of the Greek grups, gryphus, and the griff, which represents the canyon, became griffin/griffon/gryphon in English and French.

[Outline]



Perhaps it is very close to the sky, the lion's beast has a sunny feather color and coat color. The lion-like back has yellow-brown animal hair, and the eagle's head to forelegs are all covered with gold-colored eagle feathers, but it may also be white feathers with deep red spots. The feathers on their heads and wings may be blue or green, the feathers on the chest are vermilion, and the eagle and feet like the eagle may range from transparent yellow to bright gold, and the claws are black. This is the description of the lion beast in Robert InPan's "Spiritual".



But there are a thousand descriptions, and there are thousands of lions and beasts. The lions and beasts in the dragon and dungeons are said to have hairs ranging in color from bronze to dark brown. The longer the age, the darker the color. The feathers on the male chest will be dyed with a touch of red, while the females will be more bleak. But the third edition of the dragon and the dungeon "Monsters of the Monsters" painter's opinion is obviously different: the lion beast not only grows directly from the lion-like forelegs, but also grows a wolf tail. However, the artist did not mistake the forelimb of the lion beast as a root stick. Because the forelimbs of the lion's beast are indeed quite powerful, it is not difficult to fold the neck of the opponent's neck. The sharp claws of 15 centimeters are the weapon to tear the flesh and blood.



When standing on four feet and not counting the length of the tail, the adult lion's beast is 7 to 10 feet long (about 2 to 3 meters), the male is about 1,100 pounds (about half a ton), and the female is one-third lighter. Supporting this weight during flight is a wing with a wingspan of 7 to 8 meters. To inspire such wings, and to provide strength for the powerful forelimbs, you can imagine how the lion's beast has developed a thick chest muscle.



The eyes of the lion beast are like a living flame, ruby ​​red, flame yellow, ice crystal blue, which may be the bright colors of the sharp eyes. They can clearly see a horse at a height of two miles (about 3,200 meters). If it can read books, it can make ordinary prints 30 meters away. Although there is no night vision, you can still gather the weakest light to see the surroundings and hunt easily. Its sense of smell is only mediocre for carnivores, not as sensitive as dogs, but it is much stronger than humans. It can track prey by smell, and can quickly find enemies in the wind. The lion's beast's sense of hearing is sharp, and the footsteps can be distinguished from the other side.

[habit]



Although the lions and beasts can hunt a lot of food, they still have a unique attachment to the horse. The young lion beast does not care whether there is a rider on the horseback, nor does it care about the arrow that the horse who cares for the horse shoots at the sword that comes from it. Older lions and beasts are much more cautious, and they will not hesitate to attack unguarded wild horses, but in the face of a whole team of knights, they may give up, unless it is because of hunger, stupidity, arrogance or Lack of experience in fighting warriors.



Like the eagle, the lion beast is a lifelong monogamy, and will fight to protect the spouse and son. The juvenile bird will be fed by any family member, but usually the male hunting female keeps the nest. The lion beast usually lays two eggs at a time, and its outer shell has an agate-like pattern, and the incubation period is four weeks. The chicks eat and weigh heavy food every day for the first three months. At four months, the young bird is about the size of a large dog. It will easily climb between the rocks and be able to move freely on the ground. The birds will teach them at this time that they do not have to use the wings for hunting skills. At six months of age, young birds began to learn flying and aerial hunting techniques, which would take them half a year. When necessary, the lion beast will move the nest to another place until the young bird has the ability to protect himself. After two years of age, the bird is an adult and must walk away from home to build his own nest.



Occasionally, there will be two or a few lions and beasts (usually male, the two brothers are the most typical combination) teamed up to hunt together. This situation continues until one of them finds a partner and will stop, so it may be only a short period of time, but it may last a lifetime (poor bachelor party...). Unlike cautious couples, these bachelor partners are more careless and more likely to be seen. Given the loyalty of each other, they may reunite in any situation even after separation.

[domestic]

Unlike other predators, there is very little fighting between the lions and beasts. Males are also always careful to protect females, even if they are not spouses. Strong loyalty and honor make the Lions the best comrades who are better than horses or other flying mounts. The lion's beast is alive and suitable for fighting, brave and fearless. But training a lion beast is not as easy as training a horse. The horses are very docile and have a sense of security and identity when they are with each other. However, the lion beast is independent and stubborn, and is not willing to cooperate with others. At the same time, it needs a lot of space to move. Once trapped in a cage, it will refuse to eat, and no one will be stupid enough to whip a proud and powerful lion beast. It’s really difficult to do what the lion and the beast are doing.

In fact, getting a lion beast is quite difficult. It is much harder to domesticate a large chick than most people think. The chicks must be in less than three months old and the first feathers are not trained before they begin to be trained. If it is late, it is 10% likely that it will not accept the new “family”. If it is still abused, the feeling of disapproval may increase by 20% every month (captivity is considered as abusive behavior).

In order to fully utilize its abilities, domestication of young birds certainly includes hunting training. Outdoor training is a course for both riders and lions and beasts. Although flying is the instinct of the lion and beast, the chicks still need patience to start flying. During the training process, you must also teach the special skills it should have in the adventure, such as dropping an bomb or grabbing an item on the ground.

But a rider won't be as fast as a lion's beast. He has to practice for at least 11 to 16 weeks, using animal talk or similar spells to shorten the adaptation process by 2 to 5 weeks. Not smart enough, sitting unsteady can also be tied to the lion beast as a baggage, or fly by it. The lion beast can bring up something that is equal to his own weight, but of course it won't be too long. The items below 300 pounds are considered light loads, 300 to 600 pounds are considered medium loads, and 600 to 900 pounds are a heavy burden. Its claws are sharp and pointed, which can hold the object, but it can also damage the object. Trained lions and beasts can also remove the entire iron gate or a long fence. There are often many ups and downs in the flight of the lions and beasts. It is not uncommon for a bearer with poor endurance to faint.

Fortunately, the adventurer happened to rescue the lion beast trapped in a trap or healed its wounds. If you can be considered a member, this lion beast will be willing to contribute to the adventure team. Because usually only adult lions and beasts are encountered in this case, flying and hunting training are not necessary.

Treating a lion beast can't be treated like a horse. It is intolerable to close the cage, pick it up, brand it, set the halter, and tie the reins. A trained horse will follow verbal commands and gestures. A lion beast is smarter and can understand more complicated instructions. The saddle is not suitable for the lion beast. The saddle designed for the lion beast must take into account its wings and must not impede flight. The saddle is usually placed before or after the wings. Sitting behind the wings may be more comfortable, but the rider's poor vision is not conducive to combat. The side sitting saddle is not considered at all. If the saddle is made of horse skin, it may be eaten immediately. Decorations are rarely used because they reduce flight speed and reduce maneuverability. Simple and lightweight head and neck armor and breastplate are available, but they weigh less than one rider's weight.

As a mount, the difference between a lion's beast and a horse is not limited to the above points. The lion beast will not be shocked by hare, birds or shadows, but the horse will not chase rabbits, wild deer or other horses because of hunger, and the horse will not be angry with the dissatisfaction of the rider. He gave it to him. The lion beast is brave, but violent; loyal, but willful. The male lion beast is not only stronger and stronger than the female body, but also more calm and patient. Unfortunately, having a lion beast mount can cause other troubles. For example, a knight who rides a lion and a beast all year round will inevitably get the smell of it. When you want to change horses, how can the horse smell the smell of its most terrible natural enemies? Also, after the trip, the heroes rested in the city, and the horses could be placed in the stables, but where should their loyal lions and beasts go? Residents in the city will believe that this big guy does not hurt people? The image of any horse is enough to make it crazy. Even in the wild, when the owner eats the schnitzel, his/her baby lion beast will not be honest.

The appetite of the lion beast is not small. When you are not flying, you should eat 25 to 30 pounds of fresh meat a day, and increase by half or double during the flight, depending on the weight of the flight. The hungry lion beast is quite dangerous. It won't eat its own loyal master, but others won't be so lucky. Traveling with a companion who has a lion beast as a pet must have great courage or an absolute adequate food reserve. It has been mentioned in the Chronicles of Dragon Gun that only the Elf nobles will raise lions and beasts as mounts. This is indeed without reason.

【wealth】

The role that the lion beast often plays is to punish the human beings who are greedy for money. If there are precious gems in the plains with high cliffs, those who collect these shining gems regardless of their danger will inevitably be punished. Because the lion's beast's nest is often built on those high cliffs, their sharp eyes will not miss a thief, and the claws will not let go of a thief. But because the lions and beasts like bright things, sometimes they are thieves themselves, and many gems are often found in their nests, and there are bottles of pharmacy. However, most of these bottles will not be complete, because the lion beast loves to fly to the sky to throw it down, just to hear the cracking of the glass when it hits the stone. Fur, clothing, and leather products are generally torn apart by claws. Magic scrolls and magic books will be the same if they are not specially protected. Only solid metal products survived.

【other】

The language of the lion beast is like a synthesis of screams and roars, including many descriptions of flying, hunting, weather, and the shape of things. The lion beast will swim like a tiger, but the feathers must be dried before flying. Because nature is neat and tidy, the lion beast will always spend some time bathing in the day, and will never let the rider reduce this fun.

The lion's beast has a long life and may live for centuries. 150 years is the average natural life of a wild lion beast

Elf

The origin of the elves is like this in Norse mythology: after the great **** Odin killed the giant Imir, the elf was born from the body of the giant, and absorbed the essence of the giant, becoming a spiritual creature, in which the corpse was born to the light. Or the light elf, the dark side is born on the back. The bright elves are bright, bright and beautiful. They usually have a good temperament, cheerful and enthusiastic, and can communicate with trees, flowers and birds, so the gods regard them as friends of God. According to the legend of Iceland, there is another saying about their origin:

One day, Eve flushed the child by the river, and God came to her. She hid the unwashed child. God asked if all the children were in front of them, and Eve acquiesced. God listened with great anger: "Hidden children will be hidden in front of people and can no longer live in humans." Then the children were turned into elves.

In many places, people think that the elf is a fallen angel; or after some pagans die, their good deeds are not enough to make him rise to heaven, but their sins are not full enough to be in hell, so they settled in two The central kingdom between the two becomes an elf.

Among various legends, the characteristics of the elves can be summarized as follows: long life (some even think that they are immortal), noble and elegant, smart and beautiful, almost integrated with nature, good at using magic and bows Living in the forest, forming a relatively loose kingdom, equal and friendly to each other. Elves are usually disorderly and kind, they are hostile to evil races, and they can be friendly with good races (may be slightly dissatisfied with rude dwarfs).

The typical image of the elf is tall and thin, wearing a solid robes, and the mage who is calm and unsmiling, often has a few hundred years old; the young and beautiful elves are mostly archers in the forest, they are born Warriors and shooters fight against evil to protect nature.

Orome, one of the Vatican, once hunted in the middle ground and occasionally heard the song of the elf. He hurried back to report to other gods. For the safety of the elves, Vaula launched a war against Molke, and finally defeated the Dark Lord many years later and imprisoned him. After the war, Vara summoned the elves to live in the blessing of Aman (the Blessed Realm) to better protect them; but only a few elves were called. They are divided into three major races: Vanya, the beautiful elf (Vanyar, the FairElves), the leader is the most distinguished Ingwe of all elf races; Nordo, the Noldor (theDeepElves), the leader is the wise Fen Finwe; the latest arrival, the largest number is the Teleri, the Sea-elves, the leader is Elvir Singollo and Olwe. These three races are collectively known as the ElvesofLight; those who do not want to follow, or lost in the middle are called ElvesofDarkness, because they have never seen the light of the **** tree before the sun and moon wake up. .

The Vatican was most loved by Manwe, the king of the gods, and Varda, after the stars, and has lived in Oman since then. The Nordo Elf is a friend of Aule, the king of the earth, and learned a lot from him. Among them, Prince Fenoor captured the light of two **** trees and injected them into the three Silmarils. But the regained freedom of Mok destroyed the tree of God and stole the jewel on the way to the north; Fernan's father, Fenway, was also killed. Manville warned the elves not to fight against Molke, but the Nordo elves led by Fernault did not listen to the advice and decided to return to China. They fought the ship and the Tralee spirits at the seaside in Oman.

Fernor took the ship of the Telefie and led the most loyal to his elf to the Middle of the Earth; but he was soon killed by Barrog (Balrog). Since then, there have been five major wars between the elves and the dark forces. In the last battle (The WarofWrath), Vara led the elves who remained in Oman back to Middle-earth, captured the Dark Lord and put it into the void forever (TheVoid). Many elves sailed back to Oman, the country of immortality, and the rest of the mountains continued to remain. Three Simarel gems survived the disaster, and one rose into the sky to become Venus, one was put into a blazing flame, and the other was thrown into the sea. This is also the origin of the three Elven Rings after thousands of years: the name of the Vilya (RingofAir), the Ring of Fire (Narya, RingofFire) and the Ring of Water (Nenya, RingofWater).

The elf is long, smart and beautiful, elegant and eye-catching. They are best at poetry, literature and music, and they are also the most terrible archers in China. Only fire, sharp edges or extreme sorrow can kill the elves; when they feel that 10,000 centuries is too long, they can also choose to give up immortal life and go to the soul to dominate Mandos's hall in Oman.

Among the famous elves of the Lord of the Rings, Galadriel is the blonde of the Nordo Elves; her son-in-law, Rivendell's founder Elrond, is the black-haired Noel. The multi-elf; her husband, Celeborn, and the guardian of the golden jungle, Haldir, are the Sindar elves, the same as the Tralee elves, and their hair is silver-gray. After the Lord of the Rings was destroyed, almost all the elves sailed to the West; only Ellen's daughter Arwen and a small number of dark elves stayed and became legends in the mouth of the Chinese people.

About the dragons of the dragon and the dungeon:

Elves often appear in human settlements, and although they are always welcome, they are not very used to this life. The elves are known for their poetry, dance, rap and magical techniques, and admire the beauty of nature. However, if the forest home is threatened, the elf will display the skill and strategy of the knife and bow, revealing the exquisite side of martial arts.

Personality: Elves often show joy but do not pursue excitement, often curious but not greedy. Because of the long lifespan, the elves can look at everything from a broader perspective, and they won't be ignorant of trivial matters. However, when they pursue specific goals, whether they are taking risks or learning new techniques and crafts, the elves can concentrate on their hearts and minds. It takes a long time to be friends with elves, and it is the same for enemies, but it is more difficult for elves to forget friends or enemies. The elf despise a slight offense, but takes revenge for serious insults.

Body shape and appearance: The elf is usually thinner than humans, about 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall and weighs about 85 to 135 pounds. Elf males are similar in height to women and weigh slightly. The elf's skin is white, dark, and often has dark green eyes. The elves don't have beards or body hairs. They like plain and comfortable clothes (especially light blue or light green) and they prefer simple and elegant jewelry. The elves have an elegant and meticulous body, and their beauty often impresses other races. The elf is only 110 years old and can live over 700 years old.

The elves don't need to sleep, which is very different from other common races. The elves meditation every day (called "God" in the Elvish) for 4 hours, which gives them an effect of 8 hours of sleep. Elfs will dream when they meditate. These dreams are actually introspective mental exercises after years of practice.

Relationship with other races: The elves think that human beings are not delicate enough, the halflings are not calm enough, the gnomes are too ordinary, and the dwarves have no sense of humor. They have some pity for the half-elf and no trust for the half-orcs. Although the elf may feel a bit arrogant, it is not as picky as a dwarf or a halfling. In general, elves will be happy and kind to people who are not self-sufficient (after all, except for the elves themselves, everyone will fail in their eyes).

Faction: Elfs love free and diverse things and like to express their own personality. Most of them tend to be chaotic, but they are mild. In general, elves cherish the freedom to protect others, just like treating themselves. The elves are usually kind.

Place of residence: Elfs usually live in the forest as a clan, with no more than two hundred clan. They immersed the village in secret with the forest and tried not to harm the forest. The elves will hunt, collect food, and plant. They use special techniques and magic to fill the food without having to plow the plow. Elves usually limit the contact between villagers and outsiders. However, some elves will exchange their meticulous costumes or crafts for the metal they disdain to live a rich life.

The elves who live in human land are usually bards, popular artists or sages who travel around. Human aristocrats often compete to hire elves to teach children swordsmanship.

Religion: The elf admires the "life protector."

Language: The Elvish language is very smooth, with subtle swaying, and the grammar is complicated. Elf literature is very rich and wonderful, and is most famous for singing poetry. Many bards learn Elvish to add beautiful Elvish songs to their own repertoires, and some bards rely on pronunciation to record elf songs. The Elven text is as smooth as the Elvish, and it is used as the language used by the Mu language (the language used by trees and pics).

Name: The elf usually announces his adulthood after his 100th birthday and then chooses a name for himself. But even if he knows that he is an adult, he may continue to call him with his previous name, and he himself does not mind. The name of the adult elf is entirely self-created, although it may reflect the names of some people he likes, or the names of his family. The elves still have family names, usually composed of some common elf words. Some elves translate their surnames into lingua franca when they travel, while others still retain the melody of Elvish.
