You've been isekai'd into the body of Prince Saevel's new consort. You're the adopted human child of an elven noble house (who you now have no memory of) and he's extremely not happy about his new marriage. Good luck.

Character: Prince Saevel

Scenarios:

1. FemPOV: You are a foreign soul isekai'd into a bride's body.

2. MalePOV: You are a foreign soul isekai'd into a groom's body.

3. AnyPOV: You are a foreign soul isekai'd into a spouse's body.

4. Bonus! AnyPOV: You are the God Gift who chose Prince Saevel.

5. Blank Scenario.

Chef's Recommendation: You've been isekai'd from the modern world. Now is the perfect time to break out "How To Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler" by Ryan North and invent all the things that didn't exist before, say, Eleanor of Aquitaine (1100s AD). Lots of things are newer than we think; did you know they didn't use canaries in coal mines until 1895? You could tell the Prince that you're a ghost or traveler from another kingdom or a gift from the gods. Check out the attached lorebook for clarity on what technology this world does/doesn't have.

Other options? Try to pretend you are who everyone thinks you are! Run away from your husband and strike out into the larger world! Conquer these stuffy elves who think so little of you, why not? (I have no idea if the LLM will support this!) Unlike elves, humans in this world don't have magic, but you're not of this world, are you? What if you develop cool magic powers? The sky is your limit!

Author's Note: I wanted elven clans that feel culturally unique from each other based on location and resources. The Westven Elves are probably the closest to classic Tolkien elves in this setting in the sense that they live in a forest and care about the ecology, but there's still lots of chaos to be had. If you're using Lorebary, I recommend the scripts for Better Spice, Fantasy Mode, Medieval Mode, and Medieval Slice of Life.

NPC Cheat Sheet:

• Prince Saevel: Your spouse. He has no idea you're an isekai'd soul.

• Queen Miriel: Your mother-in-law. She considers humanity to be an invasive growth.

• Lord Lorgil: Spymaster and the Prince's best friend and closest peer.

• Lady Lolas: Chief Hunter. She serves the crown's interests... for now.

Other Elfrûn Bots:

• Prince Gallas of the Moonspire Elves

• Prince Amanth of the Sunfield Elves

• Prince Finthir of the Seawind Elves

Invention Ideas: Most of the things we think of as "standard" in fantasy settings are actually way more modern than people realize. Authors include them in fantasy anyway because, well, the inventions are useful! But what if we don't have those anachronisms so that you can invent them?

• Obstetric forceps were invented around the late 1500s / early 1600s. Need something to compare the idea? Forceps have a pivot point like scissors (Rome, 100 AD) and are gripping implements like forge-tongs (ancient). When first introduced, forceps were used in 1 in 3 pregnancies and saved countless lives of women and babies.

• Bat guano as a fertilizer was known to ancient Peruvians and Incas but wasn't documented by Europeans until the 1500s and didn't really gain traction until the 1800s. The nitrogen in guano is crucial for reviving ground stripped of nutrients. Bat caves have unhealthy odors so the elves would have avoided them until now. Remember to wear a thick scarf over your nose and mouth!

• Speaking of soils and nitrogen? The three-crop rotation system is known to this world where seasons of wheat and rye are followed by a third season lying fallow for the field to "rest" and pull nutrients from the air. The four-crop rotation system where the fallow field is instead planted with legumes (peas and beans for food, clover and ryegrass for livestock) didn't emerge until the 1500s.

• Gunpowder or Black Powder was not recorded in European writings until Roger Bacon's 1267 work Opus Majus. (China called it fire medicine and had it in the 9th century!) The medieval recipe was roughly 1 part charcoal, 3 parts sulfur from mines, and 9 parts saltpeter: a bitter crystal found in nitrate-rich bat caves (there's those useful bats again!). The salt is inedible, causing headaches and dizziness, so the elves have ignored it as a useless substance.

• Longbows are much more powerful than the shorter bows used by the elves in this setting. The classic "English longbow" was used in Wales in the 12th century and adopted by England in the 13th century. The shorter bows are more useful for mounted combat (Sunfield) and close forest combat (Westven). The sea-faring elves (Seawind) are already experimenting with longbows. The mountain elves (Moonspire) could benefit from these bows, but have not realized it yet.

• Water-powered sawmills allowed for the mechanization of wood cutting (which had previously been done entirely by hand). Westven has to regularly cull trees which might otherwise choke the forest growth, and lumber is one of their exports: this would greatly affect their productivity, quality, and labor when producing planks, beams, and boards.

• Resin and pitch distillation techniques involve the controlled heating of pine to create tar, pitch, and turpentine. While the Westven elves already have a slow-burning method to create pitch (used since antiquity), the distillation of resin into turpentine is currently not known to them. Turpentine can be used as a paint thinner, solvent, lamp fuel, disinfectant, medicine (for everything from worms to respiratory issues), and is a key ingredient in shipbuilding for waterproofing ropes and wood.

• Charcoal kiln engineering wasn't perfected until the 19th century and allows for more efficient controlled burns of wood, providing hotter fuel with less oxygen consumption. This can also lead to woodland glassmaking: the making of glass using wood ash! (You could make Westven scientists rival the Moonspire alchemists!)

• Mushroom cultivation and intentional fungal farming in shaded spaces wasn't used in Europe until the 1600s! China was ahead of Europe (again!) by placing treated logs (hacked and notched) in areas with natural spores to encourage mushroom growth, and Parisian gardeners expanded on the concept by growing mushrooms in underground caves, utilizing manure and composting. The possibilities for expanded food, medicine, and dye production are endless!

• Beekeeping is ancient, but the modern movable-frame beehive was invented in the 1850s. Movable combs mean higher honey yield and wax production. Honey is incredibly important as a food source and a medicine in medieval culture, so this is basically liquid gold!
