Elves

The tall, Fey-touched people born from the Aeldr Grove.

Physical Description
Elves are a tall and lithe race, and stand about half a foot taller than most humans, with slender bodies. Elven features are sharp and pointed with the ears being a perfect example of this. Elven eyes are bright colors that range from green to blue to purple. Most elves wear their hair long, swept back and braided, rarely covering their face.

Society
Elven society is focused on their their Monarchy. The Monarchy was a deep web of marital ties that connected all the families of the elves. Elves are tied to the seasons of their lands, believing that everything changes with time which leads to a focus on arts and creations that can constantly be reinterpreted like clothing, writing, and music. Elves had few central settlements before the Goblin Hordes and the Dual Monarchy, spreading out into small, secure homesteads built into the treetops. The elves came together in small, fast moving militias to deal with large threats, leading to a society focused on independence and sticking to their word, in name if not in deed.

Relations
Elves generally have problems with any race that they haven't worked with for a long time so that really only leaves Dwarves, who they see as brothers in arms and religion. Elves look down on most other races, though they see they do have worth if they can help them. They particularly dislike Halflings due to how effective halfling raids are at isolating and destroying Elvish homesteads close to the coast.
