Elves

Along with Humans, Elves are the most populous species on the planet. They are found in all the continents, and prefer to live in the mountain peaks. Across the continents, they are known as the crafters of Dankar, as many Elven cultures value objects made by the hand. They are often found doing jobs in art and design, but many also work in engineering, depending on their powers and interests.

Location

Elves can live anywhere on Dankar, but prefer to live in places of higher altitudes. In the Known World, many Elves live in the high peaks in the northeast of the continent. Many live in Veloras, one of the richer countries in the Known World.
The New World has the largest Elven population in the world. Most Elves live in the Jade Rainforest, especially in Yifrana and Asmara, both in the south. Based on Elven legends, it is thought that the Elves originated from the south of the Jade Rainforest, and moved north over the centuries.
Some Elves live in the Red Desert, and are often confused with the native Alopari. The Desert Elves are the only Elves in the world with tanned or darker skin.
It is currently unknown if there are any Elves living in the Old World because it hasn't been explored much. Not many locals have ever seen an Elf, so it is assumed many don't live there. Based on some descriptions of the Settlers by the Kozoni, it is thought that they might actually be of Elven heritage.

Anatomy

"You know, the only people who have ever heard a tree talk are the Elves. And I can't tell whether they are being serious or not."

Elves have a similar body structure to Humans, although they tend to be more slender. They also have similar heights as the average Human. One noticeable difference is that Elves have pointy ears and slightly pointed noses. Their sensitive ears allow them to hear more sounds than most other species and can tilt towards the sound they are focusing on.
Elven ears also show what a person is feeling, depending on how they are positioned. When an Elf is angry, their ears tend to lie flat, whereas if they are happier, their ears seem more relaxed and open.

Senses

Elves have 5 senses, including enhanced hearing, allowing Elves to experience another world through sound. Many have said they hear weird sounds, especially when they are quiet. The most common tale is of the trees whispering or laughing with each other, which other species think is the wind and its movement. The sounds that Elves hear has led to many theories and legends of the Sentinels still walking among them and guiding them throughout their travels.

Powers

Most Elves hold one dominant power that takes up a lot of their soul's energy when in use. However, Elves can also unlock a second power, but it is much weaker than their first one. If they are of mixed heritage, their second power is from the other category of powers they have.
