Sun Elf
Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in places of ethereal beauty, in the midst of ancient forests or in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances waft on the breeze, Elves love nature and magic, art and artistry, music and poetry, and the good things of the world.
Also known as high elves to some, sun elves are known to have a keen mind and a natural acclimation to heat, which is therefore not surprising to know that most choose to reside in Xendar. They tend to have bronze skin and hair of copper, black, or golden blond. Their eyes tend to be of golden, silver, or black color.

The Elven Empire
The Elven Empire
All elves trace their ancestry back to the ancient elves that once ruled the Material Plane in it's earliest days. Once the plane began to become populated with diverse species, something had caused the emperor of the ancient elves to take sudden drastic actions. He apparently had most of the Drow sent to the Underdark, and with the exception of a few elves who were sent to the elves' birthplace, the Feywild, all other elves were sent away from the Elven Empire and forced to wander the Material Plane. Shortly after this, the emperor died and the Empire was burned to the ground. The elves that remained from all of this, were left with the emperor's blessings, and numerous unanswered questions. Today, most elves of the Material Plane live together with other species, often in great elven cities that have been established and maintained for centuries post-Elven Empire.
Elf Names
Elves are considered children until they declare themselves adults, some time after their hundredth birthday, and before this period they are called by child names. On declaring adulthood, an elf selects an adult name, although those who knew him or her as a youngster might continue to use the child name. Each elf's adult name is a unique creation, though it might reflect the names of respected individuals or other family members. Little distinction exists between male names and female names; the groupings here reflect only general tendencies. In addition, every elf bears a family name, typically a combination of other Elvish words. Some elves traveling among humans translate their family names into Common, but others retain the Elvish version.
