Why Elven?
- ChuckMcM 9y agoThe implication is that the Elves lived in cities in the forests (perhaps like Guatemalan rain forests), Depending on if you are more of Tolkien fan or a Pratchett fan, Dwarves are more mountains/rocky types. And of course there are neither Dwarves nor Elves (in the fantasy fiction sense) around today.
- sologoub 9y agoNot really seeing any connection beyond the jungle part. Mayan world and religion doesn’t appear to share much with Tolkien: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_religion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_religion vs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf_(Middle-earth) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf_(Middle-earth)
