Editing Elves and Faeries (section)

==={{DQ4}}===
Elves play a substantial role in the story of {{Dragon Quest IV}}, being the original impetus of the world-shaking events.

In {{DQ4 Chapter 1}}, [[Healie]] wonders if the [[Strathbaile]] [[Inn]]keeper's son, [[Willy Wally]] flew off to the Realm of the Faeries.<ref>Suggested by Healie through [[Party Chat]] after talking to the Innkeeper.</ref>

In {{DQ4 Chapter 2}}, [[Alena]] and co. see an elf named [[Oopsy and Daisy|Oopsy and her sister Daisy]] at the top of [[Birdsong Tower]]. Though the pair flee as soon as they see the party, they mistakenly leave behind a phial of [[Birdsong nectar]] that is necessary to restore the voice of [[Tsar Stepan]] of [[Zamoksva]]'s supernatural silence. 

Later, in {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, the {{Hero 4}} and [[Party]] will meet [[Rose]], an Elf who was hunted by [[human]]s because her tears transmute into small rubies. Her lover is [[Psaro the Manslayer]], the game's main antagonist, whose resolve to crush [[human]]ity is fortified after saving the lass from a trio of bandits. The master of monsters builds a tower to protect his love, around which the town of [[Rosehill]] grows. A few other elves also live in [[Rosehill]], as it gradually became a shelter for {{Dwarves}}, talking animals, civilized {{MFamilies}}s, and other supernatural beings from the machinations of greedy and malicious [[human]]s.

Towards the end of the game the party will also travel to the incredibly isolated [[Yggdrasil]], at the roots of which the elves have built their main city, [[El Forado]]. Since Yggdrasil grows in a vast desert barricaded on all sides by colossal mountain ranges, the Elves of [[El Forado]] are safe from the worst of humanity and do not shun the Chosen Ones. Oopsy, Daisy, and an unnamed third elf are also seen again in [[Zenithia]]'s garden. 

After the Chosen Ones defeat [[Estark]] at his tomb in [[Mamon Mine]], one of {{Psaro B}}'s lieutenants will inform him that [[Rose]] has been slain, claiming it was done by [[human]]s. In reality, it was {{Psaro B}}'s second in command, [[Aamon]], who arranged for the girl's death; he desired for {{Psaro B}} to give into blind rage and allow himself to become more easily manipulated and thus allowing [[Aamon]] to rule {{MFamilies}}-kind from behind the figurative throne. With the loss of his love, {{Psaro B}} gives into despair and utilizes the secret of evolution to become a [[Psaro the Manslayer|hideous beast]] with enough power to crush all of [[human]]ity.
