Nightborne Elves

The Nightborne Elves are one of the older mortal civilizations within the world of Tythis. Descendants of the Eladrin they have created a civilization based on Nature and arcane magic, their sacred forests usually contain what is known as a world tree. Nightborne Cities are grand and yet meld with the forests around them. The Nightborne are reclusive to some extent but are friendly with other races they just prefer their arcane forests.   The Nightborne have muscular bodies and slender builds, and long narrow ears. Their skin range in hues of blue and purple With hair varying from whites to a lush green, to blue, to dark purple or a mixture of these colors. It is customary among Nightborne to tattoo arcane sigils across their faces or bodies generally depicting an animal or leaf like design, often done as a rite of passage to adulthood.   Your elf character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of elven refinement.

Trance

Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.  

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races.
