closely related to the mountain-dwelling nymphs known as Oreads, though they possess a more highly developed culture and civilization. Once quite numerous, the race of elves has slowly dwindled in the face of human expansion. Even so, colonies of elves can still be found in certain forests (wood elves), mountains (mountain elves) and seas (aquatic elves). A most advanced species, the high elves, dwell in the magical kingdom of Ys, in Mediterranea.
Elves are typically slender in build, with fine features and bright green or blue-green eyes. Skin coloration ranges from pale white (high elves) to tan (wood elves), with hair ranging in color from golden yellow to light brown. The majority of elves are both striking and statuesque in appearance, exhibiting a grace not generally found amongst the members of other races.
By human standards, elves have incredibly long life spans, most living well past 800-900 years of age. In spite of their long life spans, elves are not prolific, and it is rare for an elven couple to have more than one or two offspring. The low birth rate of elves has certainly contributed to the declining population of this ancient race.
Elves are the only humanoids who are trusted by the Sidhe, though the more malign types of Faery Folk find them as distasteful as any other folk. As they are familiar with the Sidhe’s magics, elves are much less susceptible to the pranks and tricks which the Faery Folk enjoy playing on more gullible peoples.
