There are five major ethnicities of elf upon Korthos. There are the High Elves, also known as the Star Elves, who are the widest spread and best known, living in tall palaces and cities on Beshabha but often emigrating to other continents to form settlements there. The Settaranni, or the Wild or Plains Elves, living mostly nomadic lifestyles in the wilds of Beshabha, especially on their namesake Settran plains. The Aquatic Elves live in estuaries, marshes, and reefs alongside Beshabha's northern coast all the way out across the Armada Archipelago and can breathe underwater. The Drow, or Dark Elves, are a race of elves warped by the effects of the Shadow Cataclysm and banished to live in deep caverns or dark rainforests.
