Elf

Long before humans discovered the continent, inland Merterra was largely populated by elves. These highly magical and intelligent beings watched as human civilizations rose and fell, fascinated by their different way of life. For, living so long, elves have a more intimate connexion with nature and the land and are not as obsessed with living life so quickly. Elves work at a slow pace but everything they create is intricate and beautiful, be it art, law, or culture.
