 Whilst initially controversial, many Green elves eventually adopted the practice of portrayal. Understanding the bleak reality of their mortality, some found meaning in maintaining a long-lasting persona that may establish relationships with other races. The practitioners of this culture found the practice particularly __adventurous__. These practitioners leave the civilisation to mingle with other races known as “adventurers” who are “role-playing”. Only to revisit their homeland every 4 years to spend the rest of their life retelling their “character’s” life story and documenting it for a successor to take on the mantle of the role. Returning to the outside world after 2 years. The tales of these “Green elves adventurers and their characters” were quite popular and eventually became ingrained in their culture, remaining so until the very end of their civilisation.

 From the perspectives of outsiders, the Green elves appear as a long-lived race who are advanced in technology and can produce supernatural feats (magic). Their tendency to find humans to drag on adventures is their iconic trait, and the tales about them were well sung throughout history. These were praised as the **Lime Elves** (from their skin colour), the **High Elves** (from their technology), or the **Elves of the Woods** (from how they seem to excuse themselves every 4 years, saying “to retreat to the woods and greet their mother tree”).

 Nowadays, the Goblins who evolved to creatures similar to Green elves are labelled as Dark elves. Yet, there are still tales, legends and myths regarding the Green elves as **the Ancients** who charitably shared the sacred knowledge of magic with humans.
+===== The Elf GodKing =====
+Around every 40 years, the Green Elves will spirit away a child to be raised as their uber deity. The Green Elves Kidnap Human Children to Become Their God.
+=== Historical Origins ===
+Kidnapping children to be leaders was a method devised in early Elven history. Elves lived short lives, with power exchanges occurring quickly across generations (approximately every 4 years per generation), causing government directions to become disoriented, confused, and misaligned across individual reigns. Even following the rise in popularity of role-playing, the role of a ruler is often abused by their portrayer. A ruler with foresight, longevity and unbiased conviction is needed. An external race, which may have watched over the Green Elves, was the choice that prevailed and survived.
+=== The Elf God Child ===
+//Children are pure.//
+One of the child’s legs is removed, so that they may patrol the forest but cannot escape. One of the child’s eyes is gouged out, so that they can only see the Elf race before them, but no further beyond. As they grow, the child will recognise themselves as a different being due to these disabilities, in addition to being an anomaly who sees elves born and die. The child, therefore, must rely on the Green Elves around them, unconditionally accepting their worship and servitude.
+Now this “Elf God” must maintain the facade of Godship. The Elven God casts the image of protection over the Elven race and governs their livelihood. God is fabricated by the ones they rule over, and God is a role-player playing God over a foreign race. Now you may believe that this child may easily become a puppet of politics, and you would be correct for the very first instance. However, since the times of the ancients, the first devised systems succeeded in maintaining autocracy and the ruler’s integrity. The following is a tightly coupled system, secret police and a God who biologically outlives any opposition and raises their own successor. In the ancient custom, since the first portrayal of the God Child, the child is then educated by the previous Elf God. Yet, a miracle, not a single child has ever abused their role nor brought ruination or slavery over the Green elves. The Elf God simply maintained the order of “role” and the Green Elf society.
+Nowadays, this tradition still persists, but has not stopped the current God Child from reaching beyond the bounds.
