Azmyth, I wrote Sevenarches for the RK book, and I can tell you that I made them up from out of my head! I'm really glad they caught your eye. When writing the PFCS, the Paizo crew encouraged the writers to make up some monsters. Ever since then, I've liked to make up new monsters when I write for Pathfinder.

As far as stats, when MY players get around to running into gorgas creatures, I'll be taking dire animals and dinosaurs and give them various shadow powers.

When I was writing up Sevenarches, I think I made a table of random shadow-y powers to give to creatures for my own amusement. Let me see if I can dig that up and post it here.

When it mentions an elven pantheon, is it referring to gods other than those found in the Campaign Setting?

That was part of the stuff Jeff wrote so I can't say too much about it but I do recall reading a discussion of the elven pantheon in his draft.

Hal, you've probably seen it more recently than I have!

There's definitely an elven pantheon in the book, and we also address how/why Desna fits into the whole shebang.

It can be complex, but in general, elves are far more comfortable with ambiguity than humans are. =)

Hey everybody, Hal hepped me that the discussion was popping here again, so I thought I'd show.

My bona fides: Waterboy is a noble job, and one I'm glad to hold. Check out my RPG bibliography if you want to see where I've been. Erik Mona came to Wizards to replace me when I left Polyhedron to work in R&D full time in the last century. I knew him when.

As far as when elves start adulthood, there's actually a long range. I don't think adolescence applies to elves in the same way that it does to humans, but as an analogy, elves can have a drastically extended "adolescence" that can end anywhere in the first couple hundred years. But in other ways, elves don't ever quite "grow up."

I've always been intrigued by immortal creatures, trying to make their behaviors and cultures make sense. I think I came up with some never-before-seen wheres and whyfors for elves in Golarion. Check it out, whydoncha.
