Elf

The elves of Anthranon were once all from one region, the continent of Wildren. They sepperated themselves into destinct subraces. The Wood Elves, also known as the wild elves, and the High Elves, also known as the Zirdian Elves. The wood elves live largely on the eastern peninsula in dark forest of the north. The high elves live in the middle or Zirdian peninsula.
Due to their greater connection with the rest of the world high elves are much more likely to be found outside of the Wildren continent. They can often be found in cities or coastal areas of other continents. Wood elves rarely travel outside of the eastern peninsula, with the notable exception of Nessien's migration. Long ago a female wood elf of the Khanrathi clans declared that you could appreciate nature and serve it without slaughtering each other in an endless survival of the fittest cycle. She gathered other like minded wood elves and transported them all to the feywild. They ended up in western Alberon and settled in the forest there.

Basic Information

Growth Rate & Stages

Elves develop slightly slower than humans reaching physical maturity at about 5 years later, and emotional/brain maturity at around 90-100. Wood elves grow slightly faster making their physical growth rate equal to a human's. Wood elves also tend to live shorter lives, most dying in their 300's. While high elves usually live well into their 500's and up to 700 years. It is possible that this is largely due to the difference in standard life style for these elves. Most wood elves live a life of danger running through the wilds where they must keep up or be left behind. High elves tend to lead scholastic or managerial lifestyles as white collar workers or aristocrats.
