Elf

Elves were created by the Feyheart. They are the oldest of the humanoid races, other than giants. Their original homelands were in the Dothraynma forests, but they have since built a sprawling empire that covers almost the entire continent of Asanora. The Asanorian Empire is rivaled only by the Karixti Empire in power. There are a huge variety of elves, and they live in every corner of Nasria, though they are concentrated in Asanora.

Wood elves tend to favor the ancient ways of the elves, and they live in the sprawling forests of Dothraynma. They live in harmony with nature and wage war with anyone who would upset the natural order.

High elves are the administrators and scholars of the Asanorian Empire. They tend to be the most intelligent of elves, as they set themselves toward scholarly pursuits. The Elven capital of Teris Felnor is home to the largest concentration of high elves.

Eladrin are elves who have the strongest connection to the Feywild. Their appearance is determined by the season they were born in, with winter eladrin having pale skin and white hair.

Sea elves are elves who have lived in the oceans since the early days of elven history. They make the depths their homes and do their best to rid it of evil interlopers like sahuagins and merrow. Their appearance is more aquatic than other elves, and they typically sport gills, fins, or tentacles on their body.

Dark elves are the descendents of slaves that the aboleths took during the Aboleth Incursions. Once the aboleths were beaten back to the Underdark, they took their elven slaves with them. After generations in the Underdark, the drow have adapted to their environment. They now serve as aggressive servants of the Old One, bent on awakening him and bringing about the destruction of Nasria.

The Shadar-Kai are corrupted elves who serve the will of the Skulker. They make their home on the Shadowfell, a mirror plane of the material plane. They serve as the Skulker's agents and do their best to sow chaos and destruction across Nasria.
