3	''Elven Relations'' is a MediaNotes/RenPy-based {{Fantasy}} {{Romance}} VisualNovel by Alex Churchill (under his pen name [=ChronoLuminaire=]), also the author of the [=NaNoRenO=] VisualNovel ''When I Rule The World''.
4
5	In ''Elven Relations'', you are [[DoggedNiceGuy Private Takuya,]] a solder of the Kingdom of Reachfar under the command of the highly experienced veteran, [[KnightInShiningArmor Lieutenant Yurika.]]
6
7	Hundreds of years ago, Reachfar and the nearby [[OurElvesAreDifferent Elves]] suffered through a war. Ever since, the two peoples have coexisted in a tense sort of peace. The story begins with the King of Reachfar giving your squad[[note]]consisting of you, Yurika, your childhood friend and accomplished, [[{{Tsundere}} not to mention hair-trigger,]] [[ElementalPowers fire mage]] [[DefrostingIceQueen Tokho]], and your [[HandsomeLech girl-obsessed]] Ranger friend Kei[[/note]] to escort a diplomat called Makoto to improve relations with the Elves.
8
9	En route, the squad does meet some resistance from Elves, but the player is still able to fulfill their mission before returning home... And then, of course, based on your decisions throughout, you figure out [[DatingSim which of the girls your portrayal of Takuya will end up with.]]
10
11	You can get it for free at [[http://toothycat.net/~hologram/ElvenRelations/ its webpage]] or [[http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/ the Lemmasoft Forums.]] A sequel called ''Mermaid Liaisons'' was in development for a while (and has a demo available), but currently appears to be VaporWare.

13	----
14	!!Provides examples of:
15
16	* BlackMagicianGirl: Tokho can and will burn any threat to the party to a crisp with a snap of her fingers and a bizarre expression of focus. [[spoiler:Including a river, when you can't get across it.]]
17	* ButThouMust: Early on the player is given the option to reject the mission from the king, but doing so only results in the player looking like a fool and humbly agreeing.
18	* DefrostingIceQueen: Tokho is either this or a {{Tsundere}}, depending on if you agree with her FreudianExcuse for flaring up at Takuya.
19	* DoggedNiceGuy: Takuya comes off this way when you've chosen a response that impresses a girl.
20	* DoubleEntendre: The name of the game. [[DontExplainTheJoke The game is actually about a diplomatic mission to the elven lands.]] [[spoiler: It can also be about Takuya romancing Asiliana.]]
21	* ElementalPowers: Tohko is a Fire Mage: she constantly snarks at the perceived ineffectiveness of the unseen seers and healers attuned to Water magic. And then there's Elven magic, [[OurElvesAreDifferent which follows VERY different principles...]]
22	* FieryRedhead: Tohko.
23	* GuideDangIt: Getting the best ending with Yurika requires you to do something fairly counter-intuitive. [[spoiler:Namely: If you sit between Tokho and Kei at the party (rather than with Yurika...) Tokho will mention that a higher up owes her a favor: one you can cash in for Yurika's sake later.]]
24	* HandsomeLech: Kei hits on anything with two legs and breasts. Including some of the elves. ''[[RuleOfFunny During a sensitive diplomatic mission.]]''
25	* LadyOfWar: Yurika.
26	* KnightInShiningArmor: You can improve your RelationshipValues by defending your love interest in combat.
27	* MagicalGirlfriend: Asilana, who practically throws herself at you. The author himself has described her as such.
28	* PersonalityPowers: [[FieryRedhead Redheaded]], HotBlooded [[PlayingWithFire Fire Mage]] Tohko.
29	* ShoutOut: A not-too-subtle one to Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail with regards to the Hasannite Yurika mentions at the banquet.
30	* SixthRanger: Asilana is introduced two chapters after the game starts.
31	* TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler: Yurika]]'s best ending.
32	* TitleDrop: The King: "If all goes well, you will be instrumental to a new age of ''Human-Elven Relations''!"
33	* WhiteMage: Asilana is a highly trained Life Mage: battles are significantly easier when she's around to heal and raise your party.
34	** Asilana's special action, which she uses to defend the player character if the two are close, is especially useful as it completely negates damage without putting Asilana in harm's way.
35	* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Tokho's path. [[spoiler:It's outright shown in the best ending with Yurika that she's still a Victorious Childhood Friend - only it's Kei who falls for her.]]
