Elf (race)

## Elves

Female Elf

**An Elf, (plural form: Elves)** is a humanoid supernatural being making up one of the 7 races in the ancient world. Although they are described to be gracious, wise and overwhelmingly beautiful, they are also prideful and arrogant, especially to Humans. They are very agile, are experts in forest foraging, skilled in potion brewery, archery, and are essentially immortal.

## Habitat

Elves are rarely seen by the public, they often live in The Elven Realm where it is very difficult to get to as the way to the realm is very well hidden in a great forest, protected by Nymphs (usually Dryads) and Fairies; making it one of the most heavily guarded realms in all of Ancient World.

### The Elven Realm

The Elven Realm is one of the main 7 realms. It is heavily populated by Elves, Nymphs, and Fairies. It is governed by the Elf king along with a couple of Noble figures. The Elven Realm is sought by many, especially humans, for thier rare source of plantation, and minerals.

The realm has an independent economy

## Hierarchy and Sub-races

### Hierarchy

The elf hierarchy are separated into 2: **Great Elf (plural form: Great Elves)**, and **Lesser Elf (plural form: Lesser Elves)**, or simply **Elf (plural form: Elves)**

#### Great Elf

Great Elves are the higher ranking in the Elf race. Those who are elected to lead the Elf race instantly becomes a Great Elf (i.e, Kings, Queens and Noble figures). They are required to be atleast a Toppellin or higher, which is a Topesatory and Abovesatory. Great Elves are always wiser and older than the Lesser Elf.

#### Lesser Elf

Lesser Elves are the lower ranking in the Elf race. They are the folk of The Elven Realm, and go through jobs just like Humans do. Although they are the lower ranked Elves, and mostly are Middell ranked or Entransell ranked, there are a few known Topesatory ranked Elves in The Elven Realm.

### Subraces

The elves subraces are separated into 2: **Light Elf (plural form: Light Elves)**, and **Dark Elves (plural form: Dark Elves)**

#### Light Elf

Light Elves are the normal folk that inhabits The Elven Realm. They defend and protect The Elven Realm from being destroyed and infected.

#### Dark Elf

Dark Elves are hostile. They are the corrupted variant of the Light elves; Light elves who have succumbed to evil and chooses to aid it. Most elves argue that they may be monsters and not Elves themselves given thier arrogant and prideful behaviour. They do not inhabit The Elven Realm or above the ground but rather inside the earth, they usually show up anywhere in the middle of the night. They are usually mistaken for goblins.

## Appearance

Elves possess white (usually braided) hair, pointy ears, and fair skin. Along with thier slim build they also own an average towering height of ~200cm (6'5ft) tall. They mostly wear white and golden accessories in the shape of leaves or flowers. A Great Elf is slightly taller, and has longer pointy ears.

Thier monster/corrupt variant however possess dark skin. They are smaller in size around that of an average human and wear stolen torn out clothes.

## Natural Abilities

### Immortality:

Elves are known to be immortal, however this is just because they have really abnormally long lifespans; they could still die from old age, but that is rarely the case. Although they have long abnormal lifespands and can't really die from old age, they are still vulnerable to physical attacks, poisoning, suffocation, etc, like any other person would go through themselves, yet, they are invulnerable to diseases.

### Gifting (Great Elves):

If a Great Elf ever so wish, they could give a part of, or, thier remaining lifespans to someone special as long as they are alive and are in a relationship that has a strong bond between the two, is genuine, and not faked. In doing so, the amount of the lifespan given will be taken away from the elf, and given to the person they gave it to. Additionally, if the Great Elf gave away her remaining lifespan, they will ultimately die.

The person who was gifted can also gift it to someone, but unlike an elf (choosing the amount of lifespans given), the gifted lifespans are divided exactly half.

Gifted people will live thousands of years, making them live as long as an elf. They will still precieve time as normal (depends on the race of the creature), making them only age physically slower. Nevertheless, that someone special will always remember thier age when they are gifted, removing confusing doubts about thier ages.

### **Bullseye:**

Elves are known to have 20/20 perfect vision, and could coordinate thier arrows excellently towards any object from even 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) away. Thier normal arrows could penetrate anything that is made out of wood, or soft metal.

If the arrow is enchanted, made out of a hard material, and is sharp enough, the arrows could go through multiple layers of rock, and hard steel like that of a shield.

Having the ability, Fenela does not aid in the Elves' archery skills.
