Elves

Elves, a collection of human-like races with magic at their very core. It is a well known belief that Elves were actually Humans, seekers of greater power who abandoned their humanity to become one with magic... Once this great feat was achieved, they went back to their families and mundane lives and were promptly cast out by their relatives who now feared them. It is said: The elves then separated themselves into groups and scattered themselves across the continent, over time they adapted to the conditions around them and became what they are today.

The different species of elves are listed below

Dark Elves
Dark Elves named as such by their High Elven cousins due to their ashen hair and gray skin, Dark Elves are relatively broadly built compared to their other Elven kin. Due to their darker features they are harder to observe at night and make for excellent assassins, this is further complimented by their natural grace, uninhibited by their larger form.

Snow Elves
Elves that hail from the high mountainous areas are what we call snow elves, their flawless pale skin and slender frames allow them to slip within ones guard with little effort and it has been told that they even possess the ability to slip out of the eyes focus and appear to vanish...

Wood Elves
Wood Elves have a peculiar bark like tan and brown reddish hair,they are among their kin the most attuned to nature and are very protective of the woods they live in. Wood Elves are known to tame even the fiercest of animals with ease and hardly ever have to worry about the denizens of the forest.

High Elves
These elves are much more gifted in the ways of magic than any normal creature, their features more angular and skin seems to radiate a slightly golden hue which is well known to slightly reduce their night vision. We could expect this elf to take the profession of a mage or gods forbid, a practicer of a darker tone of magic.
