Elf
Elves of Trorune stand as a captivating and enigmatic species, and has four recognized subspecies: the High Elf, Wood Elf, Sea Elf, and the Dark Elf, more commonly known as Drow; each subspecies bearing its own distinct characteristics and allure.
High Elves, with their ethereal beauty and innate arcane prowess, are often seen as the epitome of elven grace, excelling in the arcane arts and wielding a profound connection to the natural world. Wood Elves, ever attuned to the whispering of the forests, move with effortless grace and unmatched speed, becoming skilled hunters and elusive scouts, at one with the wilderness and the Primal Magics and Fey spirits within. Sea Elves, bearing the allure of the ocean depths, are born swimmers and divers, gifted with the ability to breathe both water and air, as well as a natural affinity for sea life. Drow, the enigmatic Dark Elves, shrouded in darkness and subterfuge, excel in stealth and cunning, with a society forged amidst the complex matriarchies and the poisoned, near-absolute mono-theocratic control of The Spider Queen, Lolth in the shadows of the Underdark where even the smallest, percieved, wavering of loyalty and devotion is met with the cold touch of death. The Drow often harbor a keen understanding of the darker, deadlier, and more ancient branches of magic and the deadliest forms of execution; skills they use to great effect on those on the surface of Kalbela and on each other.
Each elven sub-race carries its unique cultural customs and traditions, shaped by millennia of history and divergent paths. The High Elves, residing in ethereal cities or hidden sanctuaries deep in enchanted forests, embrace a life steeped in the arcane, mastering spells and lore with reverence. Wood Elves, choosing to dwell within the ancient forests or among the vibrant life of the meandering glens, revel in the dance of the natural world, viewing harmony with nature as their greatest virtue. The Sea Elves, with their ethereal eyes that reflect the vastness of the oceans, gravitate toward coastal settlements and coral cities, delighting in the mysteries of the sea and safeguarding its secrets. The Drow, dwelling in labyrinthine cities beneath the surface, navigate the treacherous intricacies of their society, embroiled in a delicate dance of power and intrigue, often worshipping deities of darkness.
Despite their differences, Elves share some common traits: longevity that stretches centuries, an ethereal allure that captivates other races, and an inherent gracefulness that imbues their every movement. Their pointed ears and slender frames distinguish them, and their unique eye colors reflect the splendor of their individual subspecies: High Elves tend to most commonly have green eyes, with some possessing golden eyes or eyes exhibiting blue hues; Wood Elves tend to have green, brown, or hazel eyes; Sea Elves tend to have turquoise, white, black, blue, green, and, rarely, silver eyes; Drow tend to have red eyes, or rarely gray, violet, or yellow, while in darkness but can manifest as different colors in sunlight.
Basic Information
Dietary Needs and Habits
Elves are typically omnivorous, like humans, but as a whole tend to eat very little meat. Its not so much out of concern for the animal as it is an effort to make as little of an impact on the natural world as possible, with the common belief being that the consumption of vegetation has a lesser impact on natural harmony.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Elves, as a whole, do not distinguish between males and females and so rarely discriminate based on gender with males and females were treated equally in all areas, neither being excluded from anything, and achieve power and fame in equal measure, apart from the tendency for more women in positions of authority, as there has been a historically greater number of queens than kings. Unlike some other societies, they understand and value the potential of their females; this equality however, is not seen in the Drow, whom are matriarchal society, where males rarely have any power outside what is avaliable to them by name or given to them by their House's Matron Mother.
