What does ELVEN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Belonging to, resembling, or characteristic of elves, especially the elves of fantasy fiction and legend.
Elven describes anything connected to elves as imagined in fantasy literature and role-playing games, from an elven kingdom and elven armor to an elven language invented for a fictional world. The word draws directly on elf but sounds more formal and story-like, fitting the grand tone that fantasy writers often want. Modern fantasy owes much of this elven imagery to twentieth-century authors who built detailed elven cultures with their own history and speech.
