Does anyone know what the term is for a group of elves?

Gaggle? Herd? Riot? Mob? Sparkle?

Just a little something we're discussing around the office this afternoon. I won't bore you with the context.

Don't worry, someone here will tell you where to put it.

Clan. A clan of elves. That is the correct term.

Several years ago, I went through this phase of memorizing collective nouns. I never came across the collecive noun for elf.

Ferrets and flies are often known as a "business."

And a group of elephants? A Tide.

Roll Tide!

Thanks, Y.

I just found your Second Life group. Looks like fun.

Quote:

Elf Clan is a very friendly group, void of the

eliteism and drama found in many elven and
medieval groups. All members were considered as
"equals". Elf Clan is a beneavolent monarchy in

operation (in keeping true to Elven Lore). A High

Council assists the Eldars in group operation.

We sponsor many interesting activities, including

archery tournaments (with working virtual bows

and arrows and three self-scoring archery ranges),

BattleMace TM competitions (friendly hand to hand

combat with an auto-scoring arena), Drum Circle

Dances (the drum circle was created specifically for

Elf Clan by master builder Robbie Dingo), "Pirate
Parties" (complete with functioning ships and
weaponry, our thanks to VR blacksmith Zekeen
Pheonix and friends), Building contests, Costume
contests, as well as various classes and other
games and activities.
