Elf

Elves are one of the humanoid and sentient races in Centurion. They live well among humans, dwarves, Avi and other races that live in Western Continent.

Basic Information

Anatomy

They look like humans, but they have a skinny physique, big (and mostly oval) eyes, long and pointy ears, are mostly smaller than humans but taller than dwarves.

Biological Traits

The elves treat each other equal among themselves in the community, respecting each other and support each other as good as they can. They like being social among their own kind but they won't decline any non-elf who's seen as friendly and approachable.

Genetics and Reproduction

It's not different from most races, but they don't mate as much and often because they have a longer life expectancy than the rest.

Growth Rate & Stages

The tallest an elf can grow is about as tall as an average tall human, about 6 feet but most of the time they're smaller, between 1,5m and 1,7m.

Ecology and Habitats

The earliest elves that ever lived in Centurion started settling home on Mammoth trees, building treehouses and bridges, each settlement connected to the other. Most elven settlements are in Zanfa forest, but some can be seen in other forests and jungles, as long as there are trees high enough not to be seen or able to be attacked.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Most elves prefer a vegetarian or even moreso, a vegan diet. However they won't get sick if they eat meat, fish and other foods.

Biological Cycle

Elves enjoy the nature and spend a lot of time outside as long as they can. But when it gets too cold to stay outside for long, they also stay inside their homes warm and cozy.

Additional Information

Facial characteristics

Male elves cannot grow beards like other humanoid races can but they never lose their hair.

Average Intelligence

120 IQ - 140 IQ (But not every elf gets to use their intelligence to their full potential!)

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Their perception and sensory are better than those of humans and dwarves, especially when it's about vision and sounds. They also tend to discover their magical talents sooner than most races too.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

The elven names are soft and light to speak, just like the elven language itself. Good examples are Bavulis, Lylah and Neyla for female names. Lennard and Solivis for male names. Common lastnames are Drennyn, Suranna and Mavenna.

Major Organizations

Most elves live among themselves in their settlements in Zanfa forest and other forests with a lot of Mammoth trees. But a lot of them also live in cities among other races, joining guilds, opening shops, giving services for money. Besides that, they don't have their own organizations, except for "The Defenders of Zanfa Forest" that keep the Zanfa Forest safe from wilderers, hunters that hunt just hunt for the sport and fun of it and slavers/slave traders.

History

The first elves used to live in the elemental realm before they had to escape and seek refuge in the living realm, which is Centurion itself. They lost the battle, their original home and their immortality when the demons from the demon realm invaded and took over. It’s also the reason why the demon realm gained access to fire magic and its inhabitants can’t die as long as they live in their own realm. The only way for the elves to survive was to open a portal to the living realm before the demons had the chance to eradicate them.
Once they arrived in Centurion, Zanfa forest was the first place to experience and gain the first elves‘ remaining natural magic and transformed itself into an enchanted place with new creatures. The elves made this forest their home ever since.
