Two Elves, side-by-side; a male and a female.

### **History**

The Elves original homeworld was in the midst of being destroyed by **Armok**. In order to save themselves, they activated a device that flung their city into the void. Eventually, they uncovered portals that would lead them to a  **cavernous world**.

### **Physiology**

The Elves of this realm are refugees from countless others. Their home worlds may mean their appearances, religions and otherwise are vastly different from their neighbours.

Elves are a tall, graceful race. They stand slightly taller and thinner than average **Humans**, but practically towering over **Dwarves** and **Kobolds**.

They are usually able to perform feats of agility and dexterity. that rival the Kobolds and other more agile races.

They can be as varied as Humans in appearance, sometimes having plant-like features which leads to even more distinct appearances.

They are immortal, but will still die if injured. Elves mature quite slowly, but aging will often wither Elves away on a spiritual or mental level before they begin to show physical signs of aging.

### **Personalities**

Elves can be quite esoteric, as their interests usually lie in spiritual or mental matters. They can be as hard and unyielding as the mightiest oak, more care-free like a young birch or shy and withdrawn like a rare orchid.

To others, Elves may come off as haughty or uptight, as they tend to have a different attachment to the world. In general they are very friendly to anyone who will treat them with respect.

Elves will rarely concern themselves over fleeting matters which have no real impact on their lives. If the need arises, however, they are usually the first to take action.

### **Skills**

Elves are beings of the natural world and are often in-tune with its spiritual energies. This gives them an advantage when it comes to magical matters and so skilled magicians, shamans and otherwise are usually Elves.

This connection with the magical realm is different for each Elf, as it is a highly personal thing. Some will commune it through song or poetry, others through inscriptions or words, others may bond it to themselves.

Due to their long lives, Elves are able to amass centuries of experience in their fields. Objects made by an older Elven craftsmen are usually of the highest calibre; showing exquisite skill and immense detail. Elves will usually stick to natural materials, such as wood and bone, but smiths are known of.

### **Culture**

#### **Families**

As Elves are so long-lived and embrace nature as it is, they tend to spread out and flourish, much like the trees and flowers they care for. Larger families or groups of related Elves are a very rare thing.

Families of Elves are a very rare thing indeed, as Elves are so long-lived and embrace nature as it is, they tend to spread out and flourish, much like the flowers and trees they care for. Once an Elf has chosen a suitable spot to 'root', as it were, it will often stay living in that area until its death.

#### **Homes**

An Elf will tend to surround themselves fully with nature, often living inside trees. Once they have picked a spot to live, they will often stay in that place until they die.

They will often tend the immediate area around their home, turning it into a lush woodland, flowering meadow, groves or other kinds of gardens.

Elves rarely share the same houses, preferring to spread themselves out over larger area. Groups of Elves living in the same place will often work together to grow larger trees that function as communal buildings, such as fortresses or meeting halls.

Whether it is a home or a larger realm, an Elven habitat is a thing of natural beauty; weaving the landscape, flora and water into a seamless, beautiful entity.

### **Leadership**

As the Elves of this realm are alone, their leadership style is that of a council; highly-skilled Elves who are appointed to be the heads of certain professions. Decisions are then made based on what the councils choose.

### **Religion**

Elves tend to be incredibly spiritual, as they can sense the energies of the world in a way the other races cannot. As such, this makes the Elves more inclined to put their faith into nature and the spirits that abound in the world, rather than a God.

Various, powerful tree spirits are often communicated with by the Elves and it is to them that they pledge themselves to serving.

Cannibalism is not taboo within Elven culture; eating their dead is seen as a highly ritualistic and spiritual event.

### **Relations**

Elves may struggle to make personal friends outside of their own communities. In a professional sense, an Elf may have contacts that span the world over and are often invaluable to many.

However, when friends are made, they are often for life. Humans see Elves as different, but close enough to be kin. Dwarves, at polar opposites, are usually the hardest friendships to find, but will usually bond over crafting-related works. Elves will often see the Kobolds as animals, but delight in their unique outlook on the world and will usually bond over the same spiritual views.

### **Language**

Elves have their own **language** that is used on rare occasions. They prefer to use the more common Human tongue when communicating within their own and to strangers.

## Elves

Two Elves, side-by-side; a male and a female.

### Characteristics

Affinity changes appearance
 Often found in wooded areas

### **History**

According to their Elders, it was the Ents who first discovered the race of Elves; little more than savage plants who could move and hunt. They taught the Elves language and music and, in return, the Elves grew 'Al Mina', the First Forest.

However, after many years, a misguided lust for power and envy of the Ents led to a brutal war, and the ancient tree guardians were methodically wiped out.

### **Physiology**

The Elves have an unusual trait to their race, often referred to as the 'Affinity'. This causes Elves to take on the appearances and traits of the flora that grow in their vicinity. This effects every part of the Elf; their skin, hair and otherwise. Elves who live in a desert environment may take their Affinity from cacti, palm trees or shrubs, becoming hardy and worn. Elves from tropical glades may find their hair changing to a vastly different colour.

Elves of a particular Affinity become very well adapted to their environments, for example; Elves in a snowy region may find themselves completely unperturbed by the cold. Elves who are away from any plant life for an amount of time, begin to wither and die; a process which can take up to a year.

They are usually able to perform feats of agility and dexterity. that rival the **Kobolds** and other more agile races.

### **Leadership**

There are no specific leadership styles for the Elves, as they can be found in almost every town and city.

There are few locations in the world that are only comprised solely of Elves and those that are, are led by unknown means.d

### **Religion**

Elves around the world follow; **La Elini Lu Wirethi**, or 'The Faces Of Regret'. It is more of a way of life, rather than a religion, centered around penitent service to the world's forests and plant life. This can range from fanatically guarding every living plant, to a more conservationist point of view.

Notably, followers earn their name by the constant wear of ceremonial living-wood masks.

A large amount of Elves also believe in Al Mina, the 'First Forest', which was grown by their ancestors after they were taught by the Ents. The location of this forest is not known, although most believe their own forests to rightfully be the First Forest.

Cannibalism is not taboo within Elven culture; eating their dead is seen as a highly ritualistic and spiritual event.

Dwarves, at polar opposites, are usually the hardest friendships to find, but will usually bond over crafting-related works. Elves will often see the Kobolds as animals, but delight in their unique outlook on the world and will usually bond over the same spiritual views.
