First - the prince Lifepath and the sword singer (of the Etharch setting, not the Protector setting) requires Page (and there are more lifepathes that require that), but I didn't find any Page on the Elves lifepathes.
Second - some of the Elves Lifepathes suggests song spells and song skills and song traits that not include in the description of Elves (like "A tree Grows in Brooklyn").
If I'll have any more problems with Elves, I'll write 'em here.

Check out this discussion (http://burningwheel.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=162), Fiz. I believe it should have been Attendant.

Throughout the CB, you'll find skills and traits that have no further explanation than what's in the Lifepath. Some are jokes (like the infamous "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn") and the rest should be fairly easy to figure out for yourself. Typically, the ones without explanation are large in scope and wouldn't be happening in the "now." They are more as roleplaying guides than mechanics. But, even the most obscure can be "mechanized"... :?. I see "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" as the ability of the song to promote greenery and vegetation anywhere the singer might be - in this case, a city. This interpretation still does not make up for an utter failure in terms of humor. :twisted:
