Link is still alive! Just had something to do with internet and bills and stuff like that!!! Well, glad i'm still on page one with this topic, and i'm glad as well that there are a lot of people replying.
BTW: Melusine and Rikard: i think it would be nicer to everyone (yes, Caleb included) that we should speak English on this one...
Ehm, well i've been thinking about any new ideas and i've come up with nothing yet. What i do think, is that i will change the way trolls will look. From my opinion i think that the trolls in BG2 look like dendroids (if u know what i mean). Troll should be different, dunno how, but somehow they should be different.
Oh yeah, before i forget, i've got something figured out:
There will be a group of Elves which live at cliffs and stuff like that. They will be called Cliff Elves. They originated a long time ago, when one elf, known as Riued Barkskin didn't agree with the laws the Wood Elves live with. He decided to go someplace else, and started the Cliff Elf tribe. Some of the Wood Elves followed him, but it was a small group. Nobody believed they made it, but a decade later, during the Orc Wars, when the Elves were in fierce war with the Orcs, a messenger was sent to where the Elves thought Riued Barkskin and his followers were living. The messenger by accident discovered that Riued lived at the Cliffside near the Elf Capital Cashtar. The cliffs there were concidered a dangerous place, because they were inhabited by birds called Rocs. Rocs are very aggressive and that is why nobody comes near them. The messenger found out that Riued Barkskin made himself a special amulet, known as "gHeis Njys", or in the Normal Language, the "Amulet of Bird Control". This amulet gives you the power of controlling birds, especially Rocs, since it was created to protect the Cliff Elves against the Rocs. Times passed, and the Cliff Elves and Wood Elves signed peace. Nobody knew that the Cliff Elves had also signed peace with the Rocs, with help of course from the gHeis Njys. This amulet was no longer needed, because the Rocs and Cliff Elves lived in harmony now. As time passed the Rocs were used as transport by the Cliff Elves, and even as pet. Now every young Cliff Elf gets his own Roc, with which he can travel and fight. The Elder Ones, the older Cliff Elves decided to bury the Amulet of Bird Control with it's maker, Riued, when he died. They also allowed the Rocs to watch over the young elven children, as Rocs have a keen eye for danger. Since then the Rocs and Cliff Elves have lived in very close bonds.
One more thing: when a Cliff Elf turns 17, the Age of Maturity, he must go away with his Roc and perform a certain task, known as the Byun. This task can consist of helping people, or helping other creatures. The tasked Elves may not return unless their task is forfilled.

Well, it's not all about the Cliff Elves, but i have to stop. I'll keep all of ya inforemd!

His name? Link......
