Elf Male

Not affiliated with an Alliance

IKEA

Elf. Pirate. Flat-pack war criminal.

Sailed into Elgea with a hex key, three missing screws, and no idea which side of the ship was the front.

Now proudly answering the call of YARR , where the instructions are vague, the treasure is probably cursed, and every alliance meeting comes with leftover parts.

Specialties include:

• Assembling furniture without reading directions
• Naming towns after suspiciously affordable shelving
• Looking majestic while being structurally unsound
• Asking "is this part important?" after the battle

Current status: Some Assembly Required

If found adrift, please return to the nearest Pirate Land with one tiny wrench and a plate of meatballs.
