The lack of information in SR times is probably due to a couple of
causes, they are very rare and are classed by our mythology as
different. If you want FASA info in detail see Earthdawn where they
are a 'namegiver' race (windling) (read sentient) and available as PC's. They
are still rare and considered different but there is a whole quarter
of a book (Denziens of ED) all about em (haven't read any of it). I
would be inclined to suspect from this that they are capable of all
the activities humans get up to and require the same process in order
to reproduce. If you want this info in SR try raiding the Atlantean
foundation, (some folks say that atlantis in SR is Thera in ED
therefore they should have the contents of its library which contains
info on things far more wierd (and nasty) than sprites/windlings) or
go ask one of the immortal elves. Careful somne don't answer many
questions (eg H) others might get uppety - dead end?.
