Every race has its own habits for exacting revenge. Humans tend to do it quickly, messily, violently - and oftentimes they lose themselves in the aftermath. Theirs is a passionate rage, big and bright and all-consuming, but short in the grand scheme of things.

Dwarves don't really take revenge at all. They just hold grudges like poison in their bodies, use it to immunize themselves and driving them further still in their passions. It takes a lot for a dwarf's rage to boil over, and even when it does, it's by comparison rather plain. They're blunt about it, at least.

Dragonborns are easy to incite to anger most of the time, and while their anger flares easily, it dies just as soon - after razing a building or two or even just a good old-fashioned brawl all is forgiven. Water under the bridge, so long as you don't repeat your mistake.

But elves? Elves are insidious. You wouldn't know if you pissed one off unless you were very clearly trying to do so, and even then they won't let you know it gets to them. But from that moment on, you've made a terrible, terrible enemy. Elves live a long time, and are willing to invest boundless time and energy to their plots. Cities turn to dust, kingdoms crumble because of an elf's thirst for vengeance. You and everyone you've ever known will understand what you've done, but not because the elf told you. You'll agonize over what happens to you, why it might be, until you figure it out yourself. Most people never do - it really is just a blink to an elf, the time it takes to ruin someone's life from birth to death. So for your own sake, carry yourself with respect in front of them.

Bleh, disappointed with the last part. But I'm writing at all, so hey, what can ya do. Happy birfday
