@TheEdVerse I'm surprised to be having trouble finding this, since gods are so prominent in the FR, but what's the Elf word for "sinner"? (Also, in Common do the elves call their language Elvish or Elven?)

1)
In Torilian Elvish, vaarn = evil and thar = good, but a sinner is a “god-enemy” and so: arsurinyahakar (arsurinya = god/deity + hakar – enemy).
Elvish is the language, “elven” is something tangible, an item made by elven hands…2)
…or that is “of an elf” (such as hands, in the phrase I just used, “elven hands”). An elf would speak of an “elvish” idea or word or philosophy, but an “elven” arrow or bead or ring.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 1, 2021
What about “vyshaan” 😉 I'd use that as a word for "mad with power, will do ANYTHING to get more." (Applied only to elves, of course.)#Realmslore
