Elf (Race of Man)

A Race of Man that are the reincarnations of the first Race of Man, they are noted for their tendency towards androgyny, strong magical capabilities, extreme longevity, and long-term outlook on life and the world. Often seen as wise due to their longevity and beautiful by other Races of Man, likely due to their demeanor and spiritual proximity to Divinities such as the Titans and Gods and nature spirits like the Fey, Elves tend to possess tremendous social, economic, and political power in disproportion to their relatively small percentage of the world's human population. Elves have a strongly-defined natural Mana that makes them slow to adapt to the world around them and can hamper their ability to adapt to unusual environmental changes, as well as making it difficult to learn new trades. They tend to be spiritually, socially, and mentally rigid, stubborn, and conservative. As an example of this, most of their subraces are the products not of any modern adaptation, but rather, of changes forced upon their souls by the Divines following the Titanomachy during the First Age based upon who and how they chose to serve during the conflict.
Elves are often proud, seeing other Races as eternal children in need of their guidance and pitiable for their short lifespans. They tend to place great importance on tradition, honor, the wisdom of age and experience, precision, and the pursuit of perfection in performance and execution. They highly value art, knowledge, music, sensual and emotional experiences, and harmony with nature and the Divines. This rigidity can be stifling to younger Elves and outliers within the community, leading many to pursue other lifestyles beyond the borders of their native communities.
