Genned a world for ~550 years, high numbers of civs and sites. Turned on site deaths in Legends Viewer; there were a series of Elven areas that had been caught in battle-limbo for hundreds of years. The White Tusks had aroused the ire of a human and goblin civilisation, who took turns every year pillaging their sites. Seriously, this string of areas had been pillaged 800+ times each, with the humans and goblins arriving at the same time every year to do it again. By the end I like to think it wasn't even soldiers being sent on these 'pillages;' it was like a tradition or history lessons for the young ones of the civ to crow over their enemies' graves. There were no elves left in any of these areas and very few animals, with thousands of deaths associated with them in total.
At least I thought they were empty, until...
The last elf at one of the sites had hundreds of kills. He single handedly defended his home long after all his family had died, wielding nothing but a boning knife. He lost his arm in one of the earlier attacks when fighting an established military commander from the human civ, but managed to live on. He also duelled several night creatures and even lost an eye to one, but always managed to escape alive. I hopped into adv mode as a mere peasant of the last surviving White Tusk settlement, gritted my teeth through the excruciating loading times of this busy world, and eventually managed to track him down by shouting my way through the site until I got a response, and then searching through the trees for the living legend.
I asked him to join me. He said no. I danced.
Then I deleted the world.
Let's just call him Snake.
Godspeed, Elven Snake Plisskin.
