Snow Elves

"They say that over a thousand years ago, the entire nation of Nobliya was a frozen tundra. Ruled by the Snow Elves, they say. Wonder what became of them."

Little is known about the snow elves. What few self-depictions we can find display them as similar to high elves, but with more body fat - likely for withstanding the harsh cold - and smaller, thinner ears. Their hair was stark-white.
