|p=''>>Since {{PRel|Elf|Elves}} come out of the [[Character Manager|CM]] at 25 or 26 at the youngest (which makes those ages probably comparable to being 16-18 in other races), you could space the children out a little more to fit the idea of difficult conception.''

Elves defy human age categorization more than any other race. There's really no analog to the Elf's 20-60s in human development, where they are physically adults but not able to conceive yet.

''>>I would guess that 10, even 15 to 20 years, apart is not uncommon for the somewhat rare families that would have more than one child.''

Most families, even Elves, have multiple children throughout their lifespan. Even ignoring the perils of being born into an era before germ theory, simple divison would cause the Elf race to go extinct if each couple on average produced less than two kids.
