First brush with Dark Silver, so apologies if covered elsewhere are my unreasearched queries.
Are Zorr a race of men, giants, fire elementals?
As mentioned your elves are genius. How far do the implications of elves possessing multiple bodies go?
Did the Raven-Haired-Queen's descendants leave a lineage that lasts today? If so, what are they like? If not, who or what destroyed them?


Also, I'm dying to steal the Sceadugengan for a project, dumbing them down a bit into "Whisperers" and inserting in a weird  West setting. Kosher?

The Zorr are men and women. Who are giant. They don't really have anything to do with fire. They are kind of weirdos though.

An elf possesses one child at a time.

The Black-Haired Queen is still around (in secret), but has no known children.

Use whatever you like in whatever way you like. Property is theft, intellectual property doubly so.

I love the elves.  They really reflect (for me) the old German fairy tales.    I'd love to hear more about that sort fo creature in Dark Silver.

I'm really liking the stuff I've read about Dark Silver so far.  Keep it coming!

Quote from: Kindling
I guess in the context of Dark Silver the terms fey and demon mean basically the same thing. The Beyond, as I call it, could just as well be called Fairyland, the Otherworld, Annwn, Tir na nOg or whatever... So yeah, my demons are basically fey - just very much "Unseelie" tyranidy/cthulhoid lookin' fey. They want to eat you, not curdle your milk.

I like this approach a lot. Faeries are all too often little pixies or forest dwelling nymphs that act as playful tricksters in fantasy settings; I'll take the creepier side any day.

I'm actually most interested in hearing more about these briefly mentioned copper witches and fire crowns. Do  people make pacts with these demonic/faerie entities for supernatural power, or is there another source of magic entirely?

Also, the elves are amazingly twisted. I love it! I can imagine people would shudder at hearing the cry of a child even from within the safety of a household should they know of/experienced these elves.

I too am all for 'What is property? I answer, It is robbery!'. Cool.

More lore on fire crowns would indeed be cool.
