| May 18, 2018 at 5:14 | comment | added | jamesqf | @John: Given elven magic (or current human tech) sex drive and birth rate need not be related. I know many people who don't, from casual observation, seem to have a low sex drive, yet have few or no children. (In fact, I can't think of anyone among my acquaintances who has more than three.) | |

| May 17, 2018 at 7:31 | comment | added | Real Subtle | Just because humans don't think elves rule the world, they well might, from the background. | |
| May 17, 2018 at 5:28 | comment | added | jamesqf | Why would elves WANT to be the dominant species? Long life (and perhaps superior intelligence &c) allows them the time to gain understanding of nature, so they practice population control &c. | |

Narrowed this down to a single question and increased the specificity. and mispelled the dang titel.

| May 16, 2018 at 21:42 | comment | added | EveryBitHelps | you will find a lot of answers here on wb by simply searching immortal. there are many ways that immortal races can interact with humans, how will you be judging an acceptable answer? | |
| May 16, 2018 at 21:36 | comment | added | Mołot | One question per question, please. And for the first one, why answer isn't "whatever you want the rules to be"? | |
