Jungle Elf

The Jungle Elves, properly known as the Vahini, are the inhabitants of mostly Citrala. Jungle Elves are well known for their architectural prowess, their advanced ingenuity in terms of slash and burn techniques in their jungle home, as well as being preservers of nature, and followers of Lakkism. 
Many Jungle Elves have rather luxurious lifestyles. Their architectural prowess and living standards, draping themselves in silks and eating luxurious food such as spiced curry, deep black coffee, and fine tea, earned them the name the "High Elves". Despite this, not all Jungle Elves tend to live in these types of environments. Some groups are observed living in the jungle within the trees, and are usually living in tree houses, and are often called "Wood Elves". In addition, they practice magic that other civilizations may find "Dark" and "Evil", though perhaps it might be due to the fact that the further south one goes, the darker the skin of the Jungle Elf gets. To this end, these tribes are known as the "Dark Elves". 
== Appearance ==
Jungle Elves usually share the same traits as serpents in terms of size differentiations. An average male can grow up to be 6'3, while an average female can be slightly taller at 6'5. The shortest Jungle Elf that is usually recorded is 5'8 for females and 5'6 for males. Though Jungle Elf females tend to be taller than men, males tend to be stockier and well-built. Contrast to humans, male Jungle Elves grow faster than females at younger ages, but this quickly changes by the time a female reaches her later teenage years.
The Jungle Elves share a rather unique skin color range. Many Jungle Elves share similar skin tones to humans, with their light skin tones being a pale tan while the darkest being that of chestnut or expresso. There are also Jungle Elves with more violet-blue skin tones and emerald-viridian skin tones. Their hairs however, are usually always black or brown. Their eyes usually vary in color as well, with most common appearances of being browns, amber, mauve and serpentine green and yellow.
Jungle Elves have fangs like that of snakes, and have scales along their skin. Akin to snakes, Jungle Elves will often have this display on them around their arms, torso, and legs. This unique characteristic likely came about through the breeding with the native snake-people of the region. Today, a vast majority of Jungle Elves carry this trait.
