Ok, question: why isn't Foster an elf? and second, who's her ma?
third, if elves are the only ones running around with immort.
why does jane have it, or, why isn't she an elf?

You're being racist... Why should only elves be allowed to be
immortal? :) I can already picture an "ORKLANDER" supplement or a
"DWARFPIRE: THE SHORTENING" (from White Wolf maybe?) :)

1) She is. She's short for her height, her ears aren't very pointed, and
she wears hair over them. This is explained in Harlequin's Back. (Short
version: FASA said "Ooops")

2) Dunno... Ehran might sleep around.

3) She is an elf. So there.

Of course there could be other immortals around, but only elves and
humans would be able to pass (largel) unnoticed. Well a dwarf could be
a dwarf I suppose, but a Troll or an Ork or an Obsidman or a T'skrang
are gonna be in a little bit of trouble.

Oops forgot the Windlings...

No... actually she's kind of light for her weight.
(The whole sentence was rather sarcastic... basically, In "H", they made
Jane Foster a human, then realised this was rather silly, so they made
her just a rather atypical elf in "HB".0

Real Programmers never work 9 to 5. If any real programmers
are around at 9 am, it's because they were up all night.
