Elf
The elves of the Isles are uniquely in tune with the flow of mana throughout the world, both seen and unseen, and with the subtle ways it suffuses and influences all life. They call this flow The Way, and believe that the only way to truly grasp it is to be a part of it, simultaneously shaping it and being shaped in return. Being part of the give and take of life.
Thanks to this sensitivity, elves feel a deep connection to other living things. They engage deeply with the world around them, delighting in natural systems and social interactions alike. They revel in exploring the interconnectedness of nature and society, seeing the flow of mana from nature to invention, from person to person, from body to mind and heart.

Increase one ability score by 2 and increase a different one by 1, or increase three different ability scores by 1.
age:
Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 50 and live to be well over 200 years old.

race features:
- Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
- Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.
- Trance. Elves do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. The Common word for this meditation is "trance." While meditating, you dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.
- Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
