This past weekend I through an extra in the mix for patrons. I might be taking this approach with the primer in the future as things really begin to pick up for the other projects I got in the works right now. So if this sort of thing interests you, you know where to go.

I'm hoping to do a few more primer pages just for these guys to expand on some of the things mentioned that I couldn't give satisfactory detail too with the limited space. I have other elves kinda bouncing around too but these ones seem like the most uncommon for the stereotype so I rolled with them first.
My advice for dealing with fantasy world building is to think of some of the staples of certain settings that you love and then take a step to the left. For instance we're familiar with things like "wood elves" and "high elves" but what kind of other climates might they adapt to? Plains elves were kind of lame but Elves that move with the rains maybe not?
Do that with a few of the staples but then think of things you like from other settings and see how you might incorporate elements of those things or their core ideas in to the setting as well. Then take that stuff and "translate" it to your setting and again take a step to the left or make fan theories you might have had for the original content a new canon.
Trying to pull something out of nowhere is an uncommon skill bordering on not actually real. A lot of ideas evolved from other ideas or were ideas with the aspects someone didn't like dropped and things they liked added to fill the gap.
