All right I finally get to play a game after so long of GMing, and our new GM had us all roll backgrounds with him. Somehow I got both lucky and unlucky and rolled up noble background as a minor prince. Problem is I'm also an Elf, and he's trying to go as close to Pathfinder lore as he can.
For Elves though, there is only one queen in the Inner sea, and she currently has no family. So right now I'm open to suggestions.
For more information we are going to be playing Legacy of Fire set in Katapesh (where there are already very few elves)
I'm playing an Elven cleric, though I'm kinda flexible on which god to worship, though for the time being I chose Ketephys.
Some people have already suggested making my character from Jinin in Tian Xia. But I really don't know much about them other then the fact that the Elves that remained behind during Starfall fled there through underground tunnels hundreds of years ago, and have since adopted the Samurai way and become more lawful then their counterparts, though they are still isolationists and only deal with others to trade Mithral, so if I did lean to that it would still bring up other questions like:
What royal families do they have?
What gods to they worship?
and Why the heck is my isolationist Royal butt in Katapesh (Guess that could be easily explained since I would still play Chaotic :) )
Your family mrried into a human monarchy? Last survivir of a distant cousin-line to the elven queen? Is there any elven ruler outside of the one queen? If you are a bit more liberal with interpration of the term 'minor prince' you could be connected a different ruler than a king/queen.
If you go Jinin, you could be the Tyrion Lannister of your house, the black sheep woh decided to get out of town rather than deal with all the crap your family gives you.

No rulers that I know of. Elves are isolationists even in the inner sea region, and ones born outside of elven land are know as the Forlorn and usualy either go crazy or full emo. There are some wild ones that live in the Mawangi expanse, but these are more barbaric from what I understand and not how I want to play my character.
the black sheep one sounds pretty good. Would explain why I'm Chaotic while most elves are Lawful in that area, but need to find out what gods they worship.
