QUOTE 1. Has anyone read anywhere any reference to non-elvish dragonkin or immortals? (I'm pretty sure that POST MORTEM stars two immortal elves slumming as non-elves rather than an actual example of non-elven immortality) I recall hearing a reference to an immortal ork somewhere, but I can't recall where for the life of me. QUOTE 3. Are the offspring of 'Immortal Elves' also Immortal? Not necessarily. Some are, like Frosty. Others may not be. Apparently, it's a particular gene; and like all genes, it may or may not get passed down. |

It's heavily implied (although not confirmed) that he didn't get his Father's immortality gene. I think I remember someone talking about his past illnesses, so that's a plus. Out of curiousity - who was Urdli aligned with in the 4th world? |

the immortal ork was in one of the earlier magic worlds, probably earthdawn.
he basically stole each day from death to stay alive, as far as i understood . . |

As a rule, weren't the IE's antagonistic towards the Therans? Why was Urdli screaming OMG THERA I LURVE YOU like a 15 year old girl at Twilight?

Not necessarily, it depends on the affiliation the elf in question had. Thera had plenty of elves in its ruling class. |

Call me crazy, but I'm fairly sure most of the immortal elves were fairly conspicuous once you knew what and who to look for. Alright, the named immortals in current fluff - historically not very fond of Thera?

I think Harlequin confirmed it in one of the 3e books and hinted at it in Aztlan. Not out and out, but something along the lines of "He's done Venice and Milan, after all. He bores easily." and then something a few lines later.

I tend to subscribe to the theory that they're one and the same, but it could go either way. |

Actually, I believe it mentions somewhere that Leonardo looks similar, but doesn't look as old as Leonardo De' Vinci. While this could be the use of a Physical mask spell, I was under the impression that maybe "that Leonardo" might have been his non-immortal non-elven son. It seems likely that he might have made quite an impression on his son and then, after his son's death, taken his place?

Either Leons are IMO personae of Brightlight. Accomplished caster of light magic, master of the optical cyberdeck, he who knows everything he chooses to.

cost/gain-Ratio unfavorable.
What profit could they make of it? You can reach orbit with those Ballistic planes, you don't even need a spess shuttle . . Also, Ares bought NASA and i guess they would not look too fondly at someone playing in their sandbox O.o |
