Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Depending on the family in which they are born into they may be given a human or elven name.

History

The torrid history behind half-elves is dark and not spoken about. During the times of enslavement, many Elves committed atrocities that were never brought to light until the rebellion. Many of the lesser races were used for the Elves entertainment and pleasure not just their labor. Half-elves came from these dark pleasures the Elves once partook of.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Half-elves started off treated very harshly. Many were killed before they were born while others murdered by others as abominations and hurtful reminders of the horrors inflicted upon them. Over time, horror turned to pity and they were slowing accepted into society, through still face discrimination from the hardliners of the anti-elven factions.
