High Elves
First Among the Elves
While the story of the elves has touched all corners of the continent, legends say their first chapter was on the golden shores of the Svaelyn Isles. The High Elves claim to be the closest to the Ancient Elves in constitution and culture, taking pride in their primordial roots to their homeland. Their skin is pale or bronze, often with a golden hue, their eyes are often blue, green, or amber, and they tend to stand at a lofty height. A race of spellcasters and arcane masters, they are credited with much in the ways of magic, philosophy, theology, and the fine arts. The people of the Svaelyn Isles have always taken pride in their cultural refinement, noble descent, and ancient claims, which many other races and cultures have regarded as arrogance and elven supremacy, thus the name High Elves. However, in their view, the gods, who they regard as the greatest of their ancestor spirits, tasked them with stewardship over the rest of creation. Their venerable lifespans are among the longest of mortal races, often reaching well beyond five hundred years.Isolationist Islanders
The Svaelyn Isles, the homeland of the High Elves, is somewhat isolated from the mainland. The High Elves have always kept a fair distance from the politics and machinations of the rest of the continent. Despite the wealth and development of their culture, they have never had an empire which conquered beyond its shores nor have they ever been especially eager to trade in great amounts. Focused on internal development, the High Elves have always spent more energy toiling on their homeland than engaging the rest of the world. Foreigners are permitted to visit Svaelyn Isles but often in low numbers and gaining rights to settle can be difficult. The elves of the isles boast an impressive naval fleet though it is primarily suited for defensive warfare against pirates as well as projecting the might of Svaelic arms to discourage others from encroaching. This isolation has caused High Elves to harbor a sense of superiority and exceptionalism from their neighbors on the continent, preferring to keep to themselves rather than frequently travel or welcome in outsiders.Masters of the Arcane
As previously mentioned, the High Elves prefer magic to all other fields of combat or study. They are well known for their sorcerers, mages, wizards, and arcanists of many disciplines. No single location in the world is considered more gilded in arcane circles than The Arcane Institute of Kyntyr, a prestigious hub of instruction and an authority on all things magical. Nearly every part of High Elven society from the military to the religion to the traditional art forms are infused with the arcane. For a High Elf, few pursuits are as noble as the pursuit of knowledge, which every worthy soul must quest for their entire life.Naming Traditions

Culture
Common Etiquette rules
The speech and mannerisms of the High Elves, traditionally, are considered a maze of etiquette and symbolism to outsiders. A High Elf might say one thing and mean something entirely unlike the plain meaning of what they just said. They tend to consider plain speech and direct points, especially to elders, as unrefined, or even disrespectful. Maintaining the decorum of respect and civility is extremely important to High Elves. While many other cultures might have a populist affinity for someone who speaks their mind and tells it as it is, such a person would likely be considered an uncouth nimrod in High Elven culture. Particularly when it comes to elders, some mannerisms of the High Elves would likely be seen as outrageous to many foreigners. It is considered customary for one to kneel to an elder, especially one of their own family. The patriarch of any family always takes the first bite in a communal meal and all present must stop eating when the patriarch finishes. If an elder is speaking, respect dictates younger folk remain silent, even if they were interrupted. Overall, the culture has a strict sense of respect and obligation to those in higher social rank than oneself.
Ideals
Beauty Ideals
High Elves value beauty that is statuesque, stately, and dignified. To an outsider, they may look rather uniform, dressing in similar clothes with similar hairstyles. But to High Elves, beauty is found in uniformity. Styles that drastically challenge High Elven norms are seen as a threat to the social order. While it's not literally illegal in the Svaelyn Isles to disobey aesthetic norms, one who does will find themselves socially ostracized from many sectors of their society. High Elves are sharply critical of each other and it is fully expected to essentially shame others into having a more traditionally beautiful body, which, in their society, would be a svelt figure.
Gender Ideals
High Elven culture is patriarchal. Men are the heads of the household and are considered more suited for leadership positions, while women's primary role is to mold the next generation of elves. As High Elven society becomes more open to outside influence, some of these positions are beginning to change among the younger generations. The deeply hierarchical nature of High Elven social stratification means that while women are not denied the lofty education and dignified position of men, they are often kept from the most prestigious positions and passed over in favor of men. Traditionally, men are expected to be the final authorities in matters of family and household, while it's considered virtuous for women to follow the lead of the patriarch and guide her children to do the same. High Elves often ridicule the matriarchal societies of the Snow Elves, Dark Elves, and Night Elves as a failure to maintain ancient elven traditions.
