Basic Elderling Template
'''Elderling's''' are a race of people from the myths of the [[Six Duchies]], who, by looking at their ancient relics apprently possessed an abbundence of [[Skill]].
== Appearance ==
Although the descriptions of their physical traights are never consistant, it is hinted at that the [[Ambassador]] mentioned in ''The Golden Fool'' is an Elderling (or, at least of Elderling ancestry), thus can be considere vaguely humanoid in appearance, almost how a dragon might look if it were human.
It has been speculated by [[The Fool]] that Elderling's were men and women who were priveledged enough for dragon's to allow them to spent most of their lives near them, so much so that the two species became integrated, causing children that were not born often, but when they were, treasured. The dragons opinions on their young that showed human characteristics was not so positive, outcasting such offspring.
== Elderlings As Plot Points ==
The Elderlings are first mentioned through myths that [[Fitz]] is told as a child growing up, the most prominent mention of a tapestry that hung in his room for all of his time at [[Buckkeep]] showing [[King Wisdom]] greeting an Elderling.
They later play a much larger part in [[The Farseer Trilogy]], with the finding of an Elderling map persuading [[King-In-Waiting]] [[Verity]] to go on a last resort quest to ending the [[Red Ship War]], which the Six Duchies was currently losing. He seemingly vanished, though it was later revealed by FitzChivalry that he ventured into long forgotten Elderling cities, using Elderling created [[Skill Stones]].
