Team Background
To the southeast of the Calicos Marshlands lay the grassy plains where the land runs on forever (or so they say). The ani-men of this region have evolved from many different species. When they work together for Elfball they produce a team that excels at a little bit of everything.

Detailed Background
Masters of the East conference, the Siringit (pronounced Si-Rin-Git) are the most varied Elfball team as they draw players from all the tribes of ani-men. As the rhino and hippo defenders protect the goal circle, the lion hunter prowls the centre waiting for any opponent foolish enough to come within range, while the mighty elephantine tantor dominates the centre. After destroying the opposition, the hyena thrower swoops on the ball, passing to the cheetah, who hands off to the mecat for the score. Simples! And those grunts you can hear in the background are the warthog and water buffalo midfielders, shouldering aside the specialists to get to the waterhole.

The two leading teams in the Marshlands are the Calicos Cats and the Marshland Muscle, each of which has taken the Siringit flexibility to an extreme. The Cats go for speed, using the mecats as a spectacularly annoying shield with the lion protecting the rear until the cheetah safety gets within range. In contrast, the mighty Muscle dominate the opposition with the trio of big guys, only worrying about the ball once the other team are out of the way.

The tantor also excels in the sideshow of the World Cup Championship, the Big Guy brawl, a sumo-esque competition between the larger elements of the elfball circuit. The mightiest of all was Russ Tusk, who took apart the mighty deadwood Sleepfruit, the troll Kipper, and the minotaur Slashcrack from the Middle Kingdoms.
