Elf

Elves are a sentient race found throughout Tythin. They are primarily located in heavily wooded areas and After the collapse of the Jurich Empire in 1 AE, elves were believed by radical groups to be the cause of the collapse, and were subsequently persecuted, being fully driven into the inland forests by around 400 AE. Due to this, many elves hold a large distrust of humans, leading some groups to actively hunt humans and raid their villages.

## Physical Characteristics

Elves stand, on average, slightly shorter than humans with a more slender and petite body. Normal heights range from 5'2" to 5'8" for males and 5'0" to 5'5" for females, and weight ranges from 70 to 120 pounds for males and 60 to 100 pounds for females. They typically range from pale to fair-skinned and have various tints of blonde hair, sometimes white or silver. On rare occasions, an elf will have hair that is dark brown or black; this causes them to frequently be mislabeled as a half-elf. The eyes of an elf are commonly green, silver, or yellow, with the occasional blue or brown. Their ears are elongated and pointed, typically stretching 3 to 4 inches upwards to the back of the head. Elves have no facial hair.

## Lifespan

Elves can live to be up to 120 years, with the average lifespan (accounting for deaths influenced by age-related causes) is around 85 years. Gestation lasts approximately 9 months from the time of conception. Elves begin walking and talking around the age of 3 years. Adolescence begins around the age of 14, young adulthood at 20, and mature adulthood at 24.

## Ethnicity

#### Ilaron
