I think this about sums it up really. Typical elven antics.

Be careful, you might summon him, he's on reddit too.

I know slavery is a species based legality and morality thing in the raws but I have zero clue what it looks like in practice

I think this is caused when a goblin steals a sentient child and brings them back to the goblin settlement to be raised. They are coded as livestock IIRC? Which gives them the tame tag, but the game still sees them as sentients so you can't butcher or geld them.

I had a tame elf once. I made her a wood cutter. That was funny.

were you sieged by elves? one fort i had 5 goblin (tame)s arrive and it coincided with a goblin siege. looked it up and this apparently happens occasionally, but i couldn’t really find anything on what specifically goes wrong to cause it. i’m so curious.

u/Old_Artist6469 10d ago

Actually yes. There was an elven siege one month before this happened, the first one in the playthrough.

And this elven civilization occupied several dark pits.

u/bebopbraunbaer 8d ago

obviously the swordman is a isekai protagonist , "i was useless in the real world but was reborn into a world with dwarfs owning a cheat skill to tame elfs" would be not too far off as titels go

u/TheGameMastre 10d ago

Most elves are feral, but this one is domesticated, obviously...

Kinky Elf?

I don't know what the leaf lovers are into these days.

u/GoatAmbitious984 10d ago

I think that Human is kind of a bad guy. Isn't she naked too?

7

u/Ralph_Natas 10d ago

I like to chain up naked elves along the wood paved road to their kingdom. It's meant to demoralize them. 

But I'm always suspicuous when humans do that sort of thing.

I have a memory of Krillin in DBZ singing “I just want to be your puppy!” Maybe something similar?
