Simple treatments for fighting infection were in use in New Testament times, according to the story of the "Good Samaritan", who bound up a man's injuries with a mixture of wine and oil (if I remember it correctly).
Wine is antiseptic, and I suppose the oil might at least help keep the bandages from adhering to the wound.

I've never started a campfire with anything less modern than a flint and steel, and the flint was embedded in a block of magnesium... A few scrapings of magnesium make a good fast transition from spark to flame. We also have a lot of "goat's beard lichen" on some of the evergreens out here, which makes an excellent tinder. When I find some I usually stuff it into the pack for later.
Even using matches, you need good tinder, and splitting a chunk of wood into slivers is time-consuming.

Il a probablement une très bonne raison pour avoir décider ça.

S.P.P.

Ah, non. Her Creator had little to do with it.

As Ralph mentioned (and has been mentioned elsewhere), the last King of the Elves wanted to make his people immortal. So he wished the elves would never grow old.

That's why he was the last king of the Elves, n'est-ce pas? C'est un malediction grave. The elves no longer grow old. They are born, they grow, they grow up... and then they die, long before they can ever become "old". Elvish society is now nothing but teen parents and orphans.

Hèlas. C'est une histoire tragique, non?

Did your sourse mention HOW they usually die? Do they all just live sucky lives that naturally don't end well, or do they just drop dead on the spot?

...*Sigh* Man, I need to get my hands on one of those supplimental CDs. I'm getting tired of begging for information that half the forum goers already know or have access to.

The answer to your question is simple: They tend to fall over dead. Note that knowing this is going to happen generally doesn't improve one's quality of life...

Fur-sonally, I just pay attention in the forums, and (like you) ask questions when I don't know something.
