They possess unearthly grace and fine features and many members of the other racs find them hauntingly beautiful. Elves have extremely long lifespans and can live to be over 700 years old. Elves do not sleep, as members of the other common races do. Instead, elves meditate in a deep trance for 4 hours a day. An elf resting in this fashion gains the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Elves take up adventuring out of wanderlust.
Elved adventurers typically find careers that allow them to wander freely and set their own pace. They also enjoy demonstrating their prowess with the sword and bow or gaining greater magical powers, and adventuring allows them to do so. They are handsome folk, with the good features of both races. They mingle freely with either race, but are typically viewed as an outsider by both races. Half-elven height ranges from under 5 feet to almost 6 feet tall, and weight usually ranges from 90 to 180 pounds.
