Having just found out about the drow getting axed out of existence, I bought Heavy is the Crown for myself to read, but also to have my own copy of the moment that one of my most hated things in D&D was gone from Pathfinder forever. ;^) I'm so happy about it that I'm posting here when I've only ever lurked.
Love the concept of subterranean elves facing a harsh underground existence. Hate almost every iteration of it that I've seen, and D&D's in particular grinds my gears, so it was disappointing to see how similar it was in Pathfinder, for the most part. I hope we see something truly cool and distinct, going forward.
With the new Tian Xia book coming out soon, I'll be very happy if we get a deep dive on the elves of Jinin. Given their similar origin to the (not-)drow, remaining on Golarion during Earthfall and heading underground while their kin fled to another planet, I would love to see some more intra-elf conflict regarding ancient disagreements and grudges and hard decisions that moves beyond Biologically Evil Purple Elves.
Very interested to see where this development leads, and more updates to the Darklands too! I've been having a lot of fun catching up on new lore when I can.
