[ In his quarters alone, scratching notes in his personal journal by candlelight, Richard says: "Wow." Fortunately these books don't seem to have speech recognition. ]
I see.
Is there a certain age elves have to reach on this plane before they're permitted to wear shoes?
no. there are two kinds of elves here: Dalish and city elves. city elves wear shoes because they're being forced to act like humans while being treated like shit, and Dalish don't wear shoes because they live in the woods upholding elvish tradition and wanna be able to feel the ground beneath their feet.
Forgive me. Your humans are uniquely self-aggrandizing.
There are many races of elves where I’m from, but all of them wear shoes. It may be of some small comfort to you to know that they don’t suffer from any systematic oppression, and simply choose to do so because they value the protection from cold, parasites, thorns, snakes, hot coals, bird shit, etc.
There was one druid who didn't, now that I think of it. I'm not sure if it was because he wanted to be closer to nature or because he was a werewolf.

And if I was gonna poison you I wouldn't ask how to deliver it to you. It'd just happen.
