Elves

Elves are the people of Creation: great artists and craftsmen, once emperors of the world before their Fall. They still retain some of the otherworldly and magical grace which they once had, and their artistic talent is beyond compare. They primarily live in the east of Aressa, in the Kingdom of Arcadia.

The People of Creation

The elves are Creation's mortal race, the first to be created in the world and the first to rise to power. Their long lifespans allow them to master many crafts at levels beyond what a shorter-lived human could manage, and their memories stretch back for generations. No matter the art, there is an elf who has mastered it. Their innate value of creation leads them to despise the orcs, the people of Destruction.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Elves share the same basic body structure with all mortals. Their ears are sharply pointed, their skin can range from pale to copper or bronze (though Arcadians tend to be tanner), and their hair can be black, blonde, white, or bluish-gray. Their eyes are green or hazel.

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

The Elves inhabit the eastern plains and forests of Aressa, from To Synoro to the coast.
