You know, I have YET to read anything in any of the FASA books about
elves being really and truelly immortal. It seems to be presented as
more like a dirty rumor, or some kind of Tir (Taingire or Na Nog)
propoganda. And to tell you the truth, I don't buy it. Spike babies, I
think I can accept, but immortal elves? I don't think so. I challenge
people out there to either give me FASA proof, or to give me a good
logical scientific/magical answer. And please, don't give me a
collection of rumors. Just because you repeat it enough times doesn't
make it true. I want something substantial.

On the other hand, I think I like the idea of spike dwarves. They seem
to be the most underdeveloped race for FASA. So maybe they can "spike",
or may have some powers (Earthdawn style) that no one knows about.
