Talk:Grey elf

Should we keep this page as it is explicitly not linked to the forgotten realms ? Sylaruil (talk) 12:32, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Apparently, "grey elves" could be rarely encountered by travelers in the North (source: The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier), though there was much discussion about whether this was true or not (and whether grey elves actually means the derogatory term for silver elves). SunderedShor can probably fill you in. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 15:42, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Howdy there, man behind this article's existence reporting in. First off, I want to state that previous discussions I've had with other editors have concluded that a monster appearing in the encounter table of a Realms sourcebook is enough to warrant an article. An example of this would be the floating eye - the only Realms mention I could find for it was an encounter table in Gateway to Ravens Bluff, the Living City. In the case of the grey elf here, it appears in the encounter table for The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier.

Based on the fact that (1.), the book's encounter table consisted entirely of creatures from the then current Monstrous Manual, and (2.), a number of those inclusions don't seem like there was much thought put into them at all, I came to the conclusion that the "grey elves" listed within it had to be have been the grey elves from Monstrous Manual. And the "grey elf" of the Monstrous Manual is without a doubt meant to be these Oerthian elves. ~ SunderedShor (talk), 9 March 2021 (UTC)
