Elven

Fey and haughty, Elves believe they were created in the image of the gods and seek to isolate themselves in families (called a Kindred) from the company of other pitiably inferior races. The feeling is often mutual among these other races, who classify Elves into two distinct camps: louche and supercilious or edgy and dismissive. Avid connoisseurs, there is no doubt that Elves are particularly disdainful of those who do not apply the same exacting standards in their own choices. Standing in imperious opposition to the long-bearded folk who dwell below the earth, Elves reside in the magnificent beauty of sanctuaries far removed from other civilizations.
Perhaps there is some truth to the divine origin of Elves, for they uniformly appear ageless. There are many examples of Elves whose years span several Human lifetimes, and it is even believed that some have attained true immortality. Not surprisingly, Elven longevity is often stunted by the gripping reality of a merciless world. Elves who have left their Kindred by choice or forced exile often fall victim to an eternal grief, doomed to dwell among the crude masses of the ‘lesser folk’. Life is particularly cruel to these exiles, who often find themselves enslaved by pompous merchant-princes and paraded about as curiosities in some personal menagerie. But in others, it manifests into cold neutrality as these Elven outcasts strike out as mercenary free-booters. They are often provoked by even the simplest of informalities or inconveniences, flying into a furious rage against all save their own.
