Elf
-"A race almost as old as Idoria itself; this race of creatures are naturally well trained in Magic and is usually found separated from most other sentient races due to their extreme xenophobia and 'racial superiority'." -Race Description from The World of Idoria TTRPG
-Amongst the first of the sentient races created on Idoria, as well as being one of the longer-living ones, the Elves have developed one hell of an ego over their time on this world. So much so that they feel all other races are beneath them and rarely worth their time... Especially the ones with a shorter lifespan than them.
-Although they will make treaties, do trade, and converse with the other races, they do so out of necessity and disgust; as, despite their collective time on Idoria, their resources and lands have quickly been snatched up from under them by the others. This is due to the Elves' poor grasp at the passage of time and the urgency that some situations tend to call for. After all, if a Nek'ko needs something, they don't have ~700 years to get it done... They only have ~15. As such they, and other shorter-lived beings, resort to more extreme matters more quickly than the Elves, resulting in significant losses for the ancient race over the millennia.
-Despite their flaws, the Elves have a stunning grasp on magics of all kinds, and love to show off their skills to the lesser beings.
-The Elves are also said to have some of the most keen eyes, being capable of spotting significant items from vast distances and nearly always being able to land a hit on their targets when in combat.
-Historically, the Elves have lived in great wooded areas; using the dense foliage to their advantage in their hunting and defense of their homes. Although, recently, it is becoming more common to find an Elf in other areas. Tending to crops in The Kingdom of Ascensia, working in a factory in The Nation of Xylotile, or even leading caravans across The Vas'kii Deserts! Scholars and Elven elders, alike, debate the reasons for this sudden change of pace for the prestigious race; but all of them can agree that it's likely for the better, given the status of their motherlands.
-The last greatest collective of Elves is located in Yggdrasil in The Kingdom of Ascensia. There they can show off all kinds of magic to their students as well as continue to have their last safe haven from the world remain otherwise untouched.
