Long lived, Elves are innately in tune with nature, and magically inclined. Legend has it they were once full Fae who reached for a more involved position in the world and were thrust from the pantheon to survive the ravages of time for their decision.
:[ Physical Description ]:
Elves tend to be taller (5’10” - 7’0”) and slender in build. Extremely rare is the muscular, beefy elf. They can vary from the darkest of skin tones to the lightest, as well as share the same range of hair and eye colors as humans; These, just like humans, are traits developed to adapt to environmental influences. Expect taller, leaner, darker skinned elves from warm, sunny regions, as well as shorter, stouter, lighter skinned elves from colder areas.
History of Elves:
Elves are not native to the mountains or surrounding foothills near the Orc encampment, and are very rarely seen where they once were native. Ukavone Kulkodar is a realm where the racial animosity between elves and orcs was settled many many generations ago, and those still remaining, if any, have gone deep into hiding. The one elf known to inhabit the realm is the reluctant Queen Rayania, was raised with and has gained the respect of the Orcs many times over.
They were said to be a part of the Fae, but were cast out of as they concerned themselves with the affairs of men.
Elves in society:
Some elves live in small tribes, at one with the forest, others live in massive elegantly sculpted cities. Mostly caste based, elvish societies tend to be as rigid and inflexible as the elves themselves. Steeped in ceremony and tradition, life as an elf is planned and precise. Haughty, arrogant, prudish; these are all adjectives common to describing the way elves act, or at least from people that do not understand. Elves are long lived and as such tend to view the actions of shorter lived species as rash and short sighted, tend to look down upon other races as if they were children.
Racial Abilities:
Strengths:
Mundane or Common abilities
Higher proficiency with woodscraft and fine artistry
Immunity to sleep magics and resistant to poisons
Weaknesses:
Musical distraction- Attuned to songs and music, Elves sometimes find themselves distracted by melodies at inconvenient times.
Physical weakness- As a race elves are typically willowy in their natural state, it would normally take them longer to gain strength in training than it would with supernaturals .
Slower healing- because the elves' immune system is slower than the average human's they would NATURALLY heal slower.
