High Elves

High Elves are a race from the Arcturian city state of Grand Alftia. They are known for practicing Alchemy.
== Biology ==
As a result of Alchemical enhancements, High Elves can live for up to 500-600 years. High Elves do not appear to have many differences with Humans in terms of physical appearance, with the only notable differences being their pointed ears and some Elves having skin colours in shades of green and grey.
==Culture==
High Elves frequently use Alchemy, using it for construction, farming, and other things to simply make their lives easier. High Elves are known for their arrogance, but are willing to do business with other races. Additionally, Elves are stated to be especially skilled in the practice of alchemy.
However, there is a darker stain in their history. A former elite force of the Alftian Grand Army, known as the Elite Orcish Forces, used alchemy to transform themselves into stronger, more aggressive, and "better" versions of the Elves, which was against the High Elven beliefs of the natural use of alchemy. The Elite Orcish Forces were exiled after this occurred.
These transmuted Elves were named Orcs, after the name of their military branch, before they were exiled. Orcish in the Alftian language means "demonic."
== Notes ==
High Elves are one of the races wholly new to Globelore II, unlike many of the others that were previously featured in the first Globelore.
