Elf

This people seldom grows in excess of 60". They are thin -- their heaviest approaching 120 pounds. Their skin is often pale with delicate, finely chiseled features. They are quick and agile. They neither keep animals nor raise crops but subsist on hunting and gathering. Highly mobile and not prone to building, they generally follow game to Spring and Fall hunting grounds.

Common Elves are called High Elves among their own kind. This is not a compliment. Those of the Deepwood are dark haired and dark eyed. Those of the Mistwood have blond hair and blue or green eyes. Most humans have only ever seen a High Elf, if they've seen one at all.

Elves are often considered carefree and careless. They are concerned with beauty, dancing, playing, poetry, art and singing; unless necessity dictates otherwise. They are not fond of ships or mines, but do enjoy the woods plants and the night sky. They have a natural talent for magic, which they call Llor.

Grey Elves
Grey Elves are the most noble and reclusive of all their race. They are considered haughty and condescending by the other races and even among some other elves. They think nothing of speaking their mind, but are eminently formal, always maintaining a sense of dignity and decorum. They are scholarly with a love of books and a thirst for knowledge. The other elves often accuse them of having lost their joy for living. Grey Elves will have either white or blond, almost pale silver or gold hair and eyes that range from gray to amber to violet. Not suprisingly, Grey Elves are found, when they are even found, in the Greywood of Westrun.

Wood Elves
Sometimes called Sylvan Elves, Wood Elves are somewhat primitive compared to the other elf races. They prefer simple existences and communion with nature above all things. They have tanned skin and yellow to coppery red hair. They come from the Darkwood in Westrun or the Southwood in Eastrun. Wood Elves are the only sort of Elf that lives in Eastrun.

Aquatic, Drow, Winged, and Rockseer Elves
Elven songs speak of other types of Elves. Aquatic Elves live beneath the Sea. Supposedly, Rockseer Elves live beneath the surface. Drow or Dark Elves live away from the other races and are universally held to be corrupt. Winged Elves, are largely considered myths -- even among some elves.
