Quarter-elf

Quarter-elf, or the rarely used term quadroon, are terms used on the Continent to refer to one who has a quarter elven blood, being born of one human and one half-elf or two quarter-elves. Only those pickiest about race consider them nonhuman.

The term "quadroon" was also sometimes used in the English products from .
