Adding an elf section

In the help with your journey thread there is a section for everything but elves. I found it confusing, it would have been different if there had just been a white arts section because I could mention them there but there's a dark arts section and even a black arts section but no white arts section. I don't think my elves would be mad if I talked about them in the creature section or angel section... Oh well just a suggestion Thanks for your time.

As you have mentioned, there is a Creature section, and this is where elves would be discussed under.
It would not be ideal to make an entire section just for elves as forum admin would then probably need to create one for every other type of creature just to be fair.. thus the Creature section itself would have no point. It is meant for efficiency.

Each section you see 'Djinn; Faery; Creature; Dark Arts' is a title encompassing a wide variety of different beings which naturally fit into that category, and that is why it is organized like so.
Creatures is for all beings that do not fit into those other categories, which does mean WA 'creatures'. As the Dark Arts section we know is meant for DA 'creatures'.

Therefore it is in fact meant as the White Arts section.
I hope this will suitably put things into perspective for you. You can see plenty of members are discussing elves over there as we speak.

Cheers~

The "Elves Section" as being entirely White Arts, doesn't work too well as there is such a thing as A Black Elf. I've had one roaming around me for about 5 years. Caiyros

Oh I see thanks for the heads up. Also I hope the elf isn't bothering you.

Yes this is true, and so it would be an entity to discuss in DA or BA areas as it is that exception.

No, actually, he is a protector with a sense of humour, and very bright. Basically a nice guy.

Well as long as you get along with him I guess.

Bumping this. I was curious as to why elves are considered creatures, while beings like fae have their own section, as I see elves as beings who have a unique culture and language, and are in my mind more of a people, whereas to me creatures and more bestial and take a more animal appearance. So if anyone can clarify, that would help a lot.
