![]() ![]() In elven writing, song, and poetry, however, the formal and lengthy version is greatly preferred, and literature or arts that use the short forms are reviled as hack-work or doggerel. For example, while a human might refer to his gnome-built exotic weapon as a "pistol," an elf might call it a "thundering iron tube with the smell of smoke and the impact of a great hammer" As this phrasing is time-consuming and therefore inefficient in situations where time is of the essence (such as in combat), a practical elf either uses a shorter version of the lengthy description, such as "thundering tube," or just uses the Common word. Unlike humans, who adapt words from other languages or make up words to suit their needs, elitist speakers of Elven prefer to use descriptions using current elven words. Elven is a living language, keeping pace with new discoveries and advances in learning. Unlike Dwarven, few monstrous or evil races use the Elven script for their language, possibly because some of the most fecund and widespread races (orcs and goblinoids) already use the Dwarven script and others adapted it for convenience. A few scholars who have seen the Druidic script consider it an odd mixing of altered Common and Elven characters, but both the druids and the elves contest this. Even Undercommon uses the Elven script, as the great numbers of the drow in the Underdark made it the most common. Not surprisingly, the elves feel the closest kinship to the water spirits and creatures of nature. Aquan, the language of the water outsiders, uses the Elven script, as does Sylvan, the language of many fey creatures. The script of Elven is a beautiful thing to behold, and it is used for many similar languages. ![]() Most elves think that non-elves can only achieve the proficiency of an elven child, but only the most rude and arrogant elves would verbalize this opinion. Many half-elves fall short of true mastery, and all other races can only hope for basic fluency. It takes many years to master the elven tongue, and only the elves themselves have the opportunity and time to do it. Because of this long history and the varied influence on their culture, the elven language is rich with vocabulary, intricate with grammar, and subtle in its expressions. Their many subraces have found homes in most of the natural parts of the world, including their evil cousins, the drow, who survive in the strange environment of the Underdark.
