Mountain Elves
When I wrote this adventure,
https://www.hcobb.com/tft/The_Humongous_Fungus_Trip.pdf I assumed that the note at ITL 77 meant that Mountain Elves lived in forested mountains, but it specially says "cities among forests or mountain peaks". This is completely unlike the hill tribe half-elves of D&D. So from what is given we can surmise that:

Re: Mountain Elves
Cities can be many things. Most Elven cities in Cidri might be 2~300 inhabitants in size. Large enough to defend against "Things that hunt the night" but small enough to mostly blend in with nature. In such a city, if there is only one blacksmith, she doesn't really need business sense if the only other option for customers is traveling down the mountain to trade with the dwarves.
Another possibility is Elves have developed a form of economic Communism that works so business sense really isn't needed for intra group trades. "Produce what you can, take what you need", But abuse the deal and get staked out as food for "Things that hunt the night". |
