Are the various races of elves fertile with each other?

[Troubor]

<DIV>I saw a post asking if half-elves are fertile..which brought me to ask this, partially due to my RP background, one of my alts without going into details is half high elf, 1/4 wood elf, 1/4 dark elf.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now..since I'm not going to delete the character regardless, I guess my question is if I'm still "legal" as far as lore is concerned, or not?  <winks></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(For those who are curious, I used "wood elf" to generate him, no tattoos/markings, and close to but not quite as fair of skin color as I could.  His father is a high elf, mother looks wood elf, but is as dark as possible as a wood elf, and of course is half wood elf, half dark elf)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Arvig on <span class=date_text>07-27-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:26 AM</span>

<P>Very interesting question, and I'd be curious to see the answer to this as well.</P> <P>What's the story behind a wood elf and dark elf coupling?  That's an interesting choice of combo.</P>

[Sabatini]

Well if elves can mate with humans and produce offspring, then other elves should be much easier. Since it's still all elf, the child would probably just be mistaken for whichever side he or she resembled more.

[Jindrack]

All elf varities (high elf, wood elf, dark elf) are capable of having offspring with each other since they all derive from the same ancestry.  Human variations (human, barbarian, and pre-change erudites) are also capable of having offspring with each other because of their shared ancestry as well.  We know that humans and elves can mate to have offspring so logic would say that any coupling of elf, half-elf, or human variation would be able to create progeny.  This also may be true of post-change erudites as well, but that race has always been very... distant from other races, perferring to associate more with their own culture so no evidence exists of a mixed heritage post-change erudite.  That is not to say it can't happen, it's just to say it has yet to be seen, so Norrathian scholars do not know for sure and most erudites do not seem to care to find out.

[Zheen]

Can a Half-Elf have offspring? Half-Elves are essentially hybrids and hybrids as we all know from science class can't reproduce(ie a mule).Then of course this is Norrath and not the great late planet Earth. This of course is all said in jest because I really don't care, the more half elf women the better. **smiles**

I think of Gnomes as having ADD all the time... so I can see Erudites being better for the job.

[Kytraan]

The idea of a Kerra - Ratonga half breed isnt nearly as far fetched as the idea of a Dragon - Iskar half breed. I did that quest in the CL at one point, it was awesome. The father of the Kerra girl wanted his daughter to mate with a proper Kerra, not a ..... snack. <div></div>

[Saroc_Luclin]

Well if you ever succeed in mating a Kerran and a Ratonga, I know what your next challenge should be...a Gnoll and a Kerran. Then mate the resultant Gnoran with the Kertonga and see what happens. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

<FONT color=#9933ff>I'm curious as to how gnolls are related to werewolves.  Hm... or wolves, for that matter.  And how come there are no domestic canines in Norrath?  Plenty of domestic cats, but no dogs.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Is this a topic for another thread?</FONT>

Do the Iksar lay eggs, if so I'm guessing there's no interpsecies breeding with them. Unless those [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] Gnomes were interfering again. :smileytongue:

[DreamerClou]

Gnomes would prolly be more likely to connect a kerra with a toaster - or a ratonga with a clock.  Half animal, half machine.
