Elves and Elven Culture

Elves and Elven Culture is a book in .
==Contents==
The Elves are a very strange race. In appearance, they are much like Humans, though smaller and weaker, and with oddly elongated ears similar to those of bats. They are great practitioners of magic, and are able to cast many spells that no Human has ever heard of. It is rumored that they are in contact with a magical source unknown to us, but less paranoid scholars believe that the Elves developed their magical skills to make up for their lack of physical strength. The Elves are long-lived, and thus tend to dwell on the past a good deal more than is healthy for a race.
The History of the Elves
Once, the Elves lived in the woods like animals, and had no civilization at all. But eventually they learned to build, and created some small towns where they live to this day. There used to be a branch of the Elf race that sailed the oceans, trading with the Empire of Stars at the Imperial ports that once thrived along the coast, but during the War of Legions these Sea-Elves were wiped out. Only their buildings remain to remind us of their existence.
The Elves of Aman'lu, however, are alive and well. They have a robust trading relationship with us, for though their skill in metalworking is legendary, they are reluctant to mine for the materials necessary to practice their art.
A warrior who owns an Elf-made weapon may consider himself well-armed. The Elves welcome other races to their forest town, and some Humans have even decided to live there. It is a pleasant place, though too quiet for most.
