High Elves
The High Elves are a subspecies of Elves. They are an incredibly successdul race; long lived, wise, adept in the arcane arts and the only mortal race on Apa Axas to be the seat of two separate empires, other than Humans, although their empires are notably more stable. While the High Elves are often credited with the creation of language and the techniques required for Wizards to harness magic for their own purposes as well as the development of the Bardic College of Lore, and are widely regarded as one of the first civilised races on Apa Axas, they are despised by many; often seen as predatory in demeanour, and haughty.

Culture and cultural heritage
High Elves often live in large cities, usually entwined with a forest or woodland, forming lavish buildings of specialised glass and wood, often described as resembling the wings of a dragonfly or other insect. These forests are surprisingly metropolitan, despite the High Elves seeming distain for the other races, however, the High Elves seem to pride themselves on their ability to seem tolerant to others, and this acceptance towards other races could be simply a ploy to impress their own kin. High Elves are a common sight on Lucidity, as, alongside Humans and Wood Elves, were amongst the first to colonise the island, and helped to established its current capital, Hudon's Watch.
