Good evening, Ed! We had an interesting roleplay issue. One of our characters wished to call another a stick in the mud in Elven, but we cannot find any translation for the word “mud” itself! Does no such word exist? Do the elves have their own version of the phrase? Hi. Mud is “slau” in Elvish, but the term ‘stick in the mud’ (meaning no fun to be around, not open to new ideas and ways, not extroverted) has its own Elvish phrase: "irrquarlan" (from 'blank/generic/valueless-soul').#Realmslore
