As more elf-human marriages ahem ‘try to have children’, it’s been noted that pregnancy simply isn’t happening.

In the words of a friend of mine that I won’t name because he was annoying, “dude it’s so irritating. We’re really trying for a cute little pointed ear monsoorai baby, but it’s not working! And I mean we’re really trying. Like multiple times a day for months. I don’t know the fertile period for these island girls, but it absolutely should have been enough.”

Another friend of mine was no less vulgar. “My husband isn’t an elf, but trust me, that isn’t the disability you guys think it is. By all metrics and sciences and logic, he should have gotten me pregnant during my fertile period. We set aside three whole days just to make sure it’d stick, and we really worked on it to the point I thought his little cirathan heart would give out, but it didn’t take. Now we need to wait 20 years to try again, and he’ll be in his 50s by that point.”

There have been zero recorded instances of an elf successfully impregnating, or being impregnated by, an alien. At this point we must assume it isn’t possible.

This puts a damper on the idea of marrying aliens. What elf doesn’t want to slowly get to work building a home filled with children and grandchildren? For most of my life one of the greatest signs of success was to build a large, multigenerational home that all your descendants can return to.

Though we know aliens can interbreed. One of the D’Sev’s domination strategies is that any child they have with a non-D’Sev will be a D’Sev. Firryan hybrids are well-documented. Sayran offspring develop chitin and the head crests.

Elves are unique for some reason.
