      No, I blame Tolkien and his literally making elves only bang for the purpose of procreation because he’s a repressed Catholic weirdo sometimes.

      Jokes on him, modern society has agreed elves are hos.

        Some would say 40k maybe went a little too far in the opposite direction with dark elves.

        It would be prudent for a sentient species with such long lifespans to practice planned procreation rather than multiplying exponentially like a culture on a petri dish.

          There’s the Elven Rope that’s light as a feather and strong as steel. No reason there could not have been the Elven Condom that’s thin and impermeable.

          Fair enough, but I think we can agree that Tolkien elves were bad at planning

      AkShUaLlY…. It’s pronounced “Kel-a-born”….but I still applaud your humor!

      Most, if not all c’s are pronounced as hard K’s in Elvish (Elven?) languages.

      It does get a little weird with places like Cirith Ungol, but there are, allegedly, older maps where it’s spelled Kirith.
