Special Realm Rules

Elven province levels do not reduce source rating in the province.

Elven populations increase slowly. A successful attempt to rule an even province has no effect 75% of the time. Elves are incapable of sustaining a province rating over 6.

Elves never establish temples, guilds or trade routes.
