Editing Half-Elf (section)

==Setting Differences==
Though the above is the most common description, half-elf fluff is all over the place when it comes to setting specifics. In [[Dragonlance]] and [[Dark Sun]], for example, the old lore of half-elves as unwanted outcasts remains true, thanks to elves being racist elitist pricks in the former and shunned, treacherous, backstabbing thieves in the latter. In [[Birthright]], elves tend to be alright with them, since they're still elfish enough to count, but humans tend to shun them for being different, to say nothing of the fact that elf-human tension is a major component of that setting to begin with. In the [[Forgotten Realms]], half-elves tend to be more neutrally regarded. In [[Eberron]], half-elves were born of noble elves marrying into wealthy human families for increased financial power, only to realize, whoops, they were actually compatible after all, leading to a distinct "upper middle class" origin for half-elves as a whole that blends well with the Khorvairian tendency to regard nation as more important than species. Unlike most settings, there is an emphasis on half-elves with two half-elf parents as these individuals are the majority of  House Lyrandar and House Medani. In the [[Nentir Vale]], half-elves are valued and respected for their status as living links between humans and elves. In Exandria's setting, it really bounces between. Vax and Vex are treated like shit by their prick of a noble dad, but Keyleth is treated like any other elf, so go nuts there, I guess.
