Greg Wrote:For example, the Q&A with Jeffrey Quinn, a designer who worked on the ZGG materials, revealed that the Westryn and Cumasti elves were his creation. Prior to this, in DA1, there are "various elvish factions," including the "Northern Elves," and there is reference to brethren in the Duchy of Ten who are suffering from a blight that is destroying their woods. These are the "western" elves that would later become the Westryn in the ZGG publications, but the pre-ZGG elves seem to be generic and merely divided into different clans or factions.
Yesish - there's more to the story.
Some of the D20 groundwork was laid by Arneson for a completely different project - the D&D movie.
Arneson had been asked to write some color content for the setting - the land of Izmer https://blackmoor.mystara.net/forums/vie...f=22&t=863
If you look through that material, you will see a lot of echoes to d20 Blackmoor, including the two types of elves.
