Editing Half-Elves (section)

== Relations ==
Non-native Terandrians (for example, [[Drakes]], [[Dullahans]], [[Centaurs]] and [[Lizardfolk]]) seem to be impartial when it comes to dealing with Half-Elves. People of Terandria have a negative bias towards them, as elaborated below.

=== Humans ===
In [[Terandria]], half-Elves are a minority nowadays and despised due to the long-gone times when they had subjugated Humans. Half-Elves are considered untrustworthy, thieves, criminals and bandits at the best of times. It is said that they lie, cast harmful magic, prey on good, innocent folk, and they steal children out of cradles at night, even when everyone knows that last claim was false.

In [[Izril]], the [[El Family]] has started to take on half-Elves as advisors.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/15/7-18-m/ Chapter 7.18 M]</ref>

:Note: ''Given the lifespan and experience (levels) a sheltered Half-Elf can achieve, combined with all their progeny being Half-Elven, wide-spread intermarriage of Elves (which may seem prudent individually: They are long-lived and often attractive and looking ahead) with [[Nobility]] can lead to a legal Half-Elven ruling class in a very short amount of time, against which the Peasantry would naturally rebel. This is what may have happened in Terandria, and which is also the reason that Terandrian Nobility emphasizes their racial Pure-Bloodedness.''

=== [[Frost Faeries]] ===
Due to the Elves that betrayed their kin and sided with the Gods being their ancestors<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/13/8-79/ Chapter 8.79]</ref>, Frost Faeries hate half-Elves and will torment them whenever they can. Their most common assertions about Half-elves is that they are ''filthy'' and the ''sons/daughters/spawn'' of ''whores/bastards/sluts/cravens''. This extends to female Half-Elves themselves who are similarly called ''whores''. Less insulting names include ''half-breed'', ''halfling'' or ''half-spawn''.<ref name="2.05">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/28/2-06/ Chapter 2.05]</ref><ref name="2.20" />

Ivolethe implied that the ''existence'' of Half-Elves is what insults them, and alluded to the ''sin'' of the Half-Elf people. While Ceria had no idea which sin was meant, she understood the general meaning well enough.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/09/02/3-09/ Chapter 3.09]</ref>

=== [[Dwarves]] ===
Half-Elves are not liked by Dwarves. The majority of Dwarves (who are natives of Terandria as well) usually refuse to travel with them.<ref name="4.45">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/12/4-45/ Chapter 4.45]</ref>

=== [[Lizardfolk]] ===
The prolific and social Lizardfolk have helped half-Elf settlements on Baleros boom in population, as they birthed more half-elven children. They have both welcomed and clashed with them.<ref name=":1" />

=== [[Gnolls]] ===
Half-Elves planning to create a new colony in [[Izril]]'s new lands approached the Gnoll tribes in the hopes of forging an alliance.<ref name=":1" />
