Snow Elves

Snow Elves tend to be warm and comforting, willing to offer all they have to complete strangers. They are a selfless, humble people, trusting of others and in turn earning others' trust. Their only biases are towards monster races that have plagued them for centuries, such as trolls. Even the Drow are seen as fellow Elves and are gladly and warmly taken in. Snow Elves are not, however, to be taken lightly. Once angered, the Snow Elves are capable of calling forth powerful divine magics, and have been known to decimate their enemy without losing a single life of their own.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Snow Elves tend to stand taller and heavier than most of their Elven cousins, closer to humans. Their features reflect closely to the High Elves of which they are closely related, though every feature seems to have been stripped of color. Their hair can range from a pale gray to platinum blonde, though admittedly the most common tone is stark white. Their skin is of a soft, bright hue. Their eyes, however, are vibrant and teeming with color. Common eye colors are blue, amber, and green; however, yellow, amber, violet, and silver are not unheard of. Their ears, strangely, come to a two-forked point.

Genetics and Reproduction

Snow Elves may mate with many other races, but must mate with either a High Elf or a Snow Elf in order to create another Snow Elf. Any other child will be a standard Half-Elf.

Ecology and Habitats

Snow Elves live where it is remarkably cold, in the far northern reaches.

Behaviour

Snow Elves are less aloof, far warmer in demeanor than their southern cousins. They tend towards devoutly religious and make great clerics.
