Yes looks like you are right, I should know not to trust the one that plagarized 7/8's of his site. I'm doin a little research and so far I've seen elves with swords not spears, and a picture from LOTR of Arwen's Hadhafang which looks like a UO katana if I'd have to guess. Thanks for pushin me to do some research it'll help when I finally choose a template> Pilin'aman,

I used to be in an elven guild on Europa but left after a shortwhile, the leader didn't seem too knowledgable about what he said he was and I realized he plagarized this and at least one other site. Anyway, from that site I learnt that elves who pursue melee filed as well choose fencing and often choose spears. Does that make any sense? Or would a melee/fighter elf most likely choose swordsmanship? Thanks in advance.
