Desert Elf

Desert elves, also known as Shai’ir, are named after their first Sultan. Other elves call them Eruedhel (Singular) or Eruedhil (Plural). Shai’ir are known for their nomadic lifestyle and the large lizards they ride. Their skin are mid to dark earth tones and their hair is typically black and curled. Their environment has also impacted their ethnicity, as the extreme weather conditions where they are usually found has build within them a resistance to the harsh heat of the desert, and naturally strengthen their bodies to withstand it.

Traits of a Desert Elf

As an Elf, they have the following traits:

Elves are Average or Medium-sized creatures.

Elves have a movement speed of 30ft.

Elves maintain roundabout the same qualities as humans, even though they weigh less.

Elves are immune to the sleep spell, and have advantage on saving throws against charms (5e Ruleset).

Elves have a +2 to resistance on enchantments, and are immune to the sleep spell (3.5e Ruleset).

Elves do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.

Elves have shown a distinct immunity to magical sleep spells and other stimuli. This is probably due to their mental training and trances.

Elves have Darkvision, which is superior vision in dark and dim conditions. An elf can see in dim light within 60 feet of them as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. Additionally, elves are able to discern color in darkness through their darkvision.

Elves are capable of seeing twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. Unlike dwarves, they can still see colors and details with this keen eyesight.

Desert Elves are proficient with Scimitar, Falchion, Longbows, Shortbows and Firearms.

Elves have access to training and exposure with longswords, rapiers, longbows, shortbows, and firearms. In doing so, it isn’t hard for an elf to learn how to use these by the time they become adventurers.

Elves are capable of discovering nearby secret passages.

Elves are so observant of their surroundings that if they pass by a secret passage, they have a chance of stumbling upon that passage. It really depends on whether or not they are willing to undergo that venture into the unknown.

Desert Elves are able to speak, read and write the Common Tongue and Elvish. Additionaly, dark elves are able to choose between the following languages: Abyssal, Ignan, Draconic, Orcish, Goblin, and Giant.

Elves are capable of integrating themselves amongst different people, and thus able to learn different languages.

Additionally, High Elves possess the following traits:

Desert Elves have a +2 to Constitution, and a -2 to Charisma.

Desert Elves are Resistant to Fire.

Desert Elves are not as alike as most would believe. They are very hardy and tough people, and are naturally resistant to the heat of the desert. This would imply that instead of being physically weaker, they are actually the opposite. Even though these elves appear to lack the social tact to be approachable, they barely speak to anyone anyway.
