Elf

One of the dominant races of Carath. Elves are a fractured people, whose multiple sub-races can be very different physically, and who are further divided by deeply-held philosophies, which are all but indistinguishable to most non-elves. Despite this, the majority of the race lives in close quarters, in the great kingdom of Se'equinar, after a continent-wide Retreat, when elves everywhere were encouraged to leave behind their failing or overrun homes for the unity of a single nation. Most elven philosophies value beauty and goodness, and encourage a certain hedonism; elves often seem either uncaring about certain matters, or obsessively serious about others.
