Elf

^{Home > Rulebook > Races > Elf}
Created at the start of the universe from Light Energy, the Elf is one side of the coin of the cosmos, being a largely masculine presenting race, harnessing the energy of the sun and light itself to bolster and grant themselves strength, these engineers and logicians are more introverted then their previous counterpart, however, will always have knowledge of the intricacies of most devices, technology and other gadgets.

Characteristics

Elves have very long, pointed ears, known by Dwarves as “Knife Ears”, featuring pale to slightly tanned skin, and a fairly slim body. Elves have hair colours from blonde, to green, white, and ginger. They have strikingly coloured eyes that can range from any colour, but are usually highly saturated in their appearance. While usually being mostly masculine presenting, Elves have the ability to change their anatomy, sex and gender when resting

Elves are highly logical creatures, and take great pride in their own culture, they are highly introverted, not talking to others, but usually working alone, or in silence with others. They prefer taller locations and daylight hours, where they can absorb light most significantly.

Native Environments

Elves tend to live in tall forests and mountains, usually working symbiotic in nature with other creatures, Elf inhabited zones tend to have more docile wildlife, with creatures tending to be much less skittish due to the unspoken agreement they have with other animals and beasts in the area, feeding them more and partially taming all of the creatures within the 1km radius of their homes, acting mainly as bodyguards and friends to the Elves.

History

Elf have existed since the start of the Great Evolution, co-existing with Drow, due to both races being sexually dimorphic of one another. Elves are masculine presenting, dealing with multiple wars against the Drow and other races, eventually, they have learned to benefit one another in their own societies, despite their differences.

Society & Culture

Elf are typically a Patriarchal society, basing most of their holidays and festivities on the sun, they typically worship the light and consider it one of the greatest omens for their culture. They operate on a more light based schedule, and are technocratic at their supremes, appointing the best elf to various tasks. Their societies include large amount of accompaniment for Drow, who co-exist and mingle with Elves and vice versa.
