I'm going to have to go onto the boat that he's compensating for something. I mean all of those elves were male elves, and he does have the pointy ears.

This is his artifact, a feathered wood earring.

Should go nicely with those ears. :)

He's being ironic. Or perhaps possessed.
Edit: Wait, elves are feyish...

Looks like he took a bath recently...

Did he get hurt by the trolls?

It's even worse than that.

Notice that all of those elves are male.
Unfortunate implications indeed.
Why's that? Maybe this particular elven civ only sends males into battle.

Or, they just default to male because it's the first gender on the list, and these elves started out as unspecified gender. Kind of the way an artifact turns into iron if you forbid the primary material.

Or it could be the "Smurf" arguement.

I'll just leave that there.

I think he made it out of wood just to wear it into battle and piss off elves right before they die.
"You damn dirty dwarf, you've killed all my friends and family, I will have your head on a plat- Is that earring made of... wood?

Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.
I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

From the stats, he's not a genocidal sociopath... merely a dwarven soldier to be held in highest esteem for his valor in conquest against the elves. It's not genocide if its against enemies-at-arms.

Wooden training swords and rope reed tunics don't really count as armaments, IMO :P

Regarding the fact people will soon be able to tell if you're armed:

Urist McFortressGuard: PUT DOWN YOUR DAMN WEAPONS OR I'LL KNOCK YOU DAMN HEAD OFF!
Elf McAdvenurer: Okay, sheesh man. There, the weapons are down, happy?
Urist McFortressGuard: You Think I'm playng with you? YOU THINK I'm PLAYING WITH YOU? PUT THE TROUSERS DOWN, NOW.

Wooden swords and training swords are two entirely different things. Do not underestimate a legendary swords Elf...

Yeah, so long as you aren't wearing a string vest or a thin T-shirt, that dude will wreck you.
