Elves

Creatures of beauty and perfection, elves are slender, tall, graceful long-lived beings that adore nature and prize it above all else, living in ancient and wonderful forests or meadows of flowers. They usually take no part in the affairs of humans and other races, and tend to be more amused than exited. They spend decades or centuries refining and honing their skills, giving them prowess other races, including humans and halflings, do not possess.

Appearance

Elves' skin tones range from golden and silver (for high elves) copper (for wood elves) or black (for drow) and their height is about six to seven feet tall. Their weight is no more than 160 pounds - they are far more slender than humans.

Civilization and Culture

History

Elves arrived from across the seas over 3000 years ago and since have built civilisations in the most secluded parts of the world. The growth of their species is slow, but they still have a large population spread throughout Alehath.
