Elves emerged into the world of Eternarii from the vast Forest of Corrilwal. The magic springs and widespread appearance of Fey within the forest gave Elves a particular kinship with magic use. This kinship tends to lend Elves a somewhat otherworldly quality. Tall, graceful and with elegant features, most other races find Elves hauntingly beautiful. Though having a similar height to humans, most Elves tend to be more slender than humans rarely weighing more than 145 pounds. Elves too do not grow facial hair and as a result of this and their elegant nature, many elves appear at first glance androgynous to members of other species. Their skin colours encompass the same range of tones as most humans and dwarves, usually paired with amber, gold, green or blue eyes and hair of gold or silver tones. Elves frequently live close to 1000 year of age. Though they reach biological maturity in the same timescale as humans, Elven society at large expresses the opinion that no Elf can truly be considered an adult until they reach their first century. Before this point young elves are encourage to venture out and explore the world at their leisure. Upon return at the age of 100, elves then take on a new adult name recognising them as full and complete members of the society. Due to their long lives, Elves do not rush to decisions. In fact they frequently take a broader approach to the issues that face groups of other species. Despite this history is of incredible importance to Elves who pass this on in predominantly oral forms. Emphasis then is frequently given to bardic arts, the study of lore, nature, and even the arcane in later life. In younger life elves can often show themselves to be flexible and even formidable fighters securing their homeland from all who might trespass.
