Elf
Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace.
With their unearthly grace and fine features, elves appear hauntingly beautiful to humans and members of many other races.
A Timeless Perspective - Elves can live well over 700 years, giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply. They are more often amused than excited, and more likely to be curious than greedy. They tend to remain aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, elves can be focused and relentless. They are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance.

After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
