Elf

"'If there's anyone wise enough to guide us, it's the Elven people of Trostani Forest.'""-Glarin Shieldbearer, Commander of the Brenielian Army"Elves are one of the many races that inhabit the world of Voruseh, and are quite common. They can mostly be found in Astorien, particularly in their kingdons, Lithsari and Istari, and are known for their long lifespan and rich culture

Biology
Elves are found in many variations across Astorien, but High Elves and Wood Elves are the most common. Their skin is usually white, except for the Drow with their grey, pale or black skin, or Half-Elves, who share the diversity of their Human sides. Their hair can be black, brown, blond, grey, red and even blue or pink in some locations. Their eyes are usually brown, black, hazel, green or blue, but other rare variations may appear. Their ears are pointy, with the size of them variating from a subrace to another.

Elves usually have a lifespan of around 350 years, the longest among the common races, but some legendary Elves have been reported to live 500 or even 1000 years.

Culture
The Elven cultures are quite different amongst each other, but their all share a taste for knowledge and art, even the Drow.

Calaquendi
High Elves are more urban than their peers, living in massive cities of marble and crystal. Their Wizards are well-renowned around the world, as well as their poetry. High Elf Adventurers tend to be Mages, Clerics or Paladins.

Silvan
Wood-Elves live in harmony with nature, choosing to follow Zantruism rather than the Church of the Pantheon. They live in relatively small treetop communities and are famous for their music and healing abilities. Wood Elf Adventurers tend to be Rangers, Druids or Bards.

Drow
Dark-elves have a very twisted way of life, engaging in things like slavery and cultism. They workship spider-like demons and live in cities hidden in caves.High Elf Adventurers tend to be Assassins, Rogues or Warriors.

Racial Relations
Drow aside, Elves are quite friendly towards other races. Humans and Dwarves are strong allies of the Elves, even though conflict among them has happened in the past.

They see Orcs with great contempt though. Elves who are friendly with Orcs can be found but are rare.

Subraces and Hybrids
There are three Elven subraces, separated by their environment.
