Elf (Eledath)

Elves are a humanoid race who usually live in forests and woodland. They are herbivores, and grow their own food. A proud race, they look down on other species as being inferior. They are intellectually superior to humans, though not as much as they'd like to think. Their average lifespan is around 140 years.

Biology and Appearance
A characteristically beautiful race, the Elves typically have symmetrical and delicate features. On average, they are about five inches shorter than humans, with slight frames. Their ears are pointed and elongated, the tips level with mid-forehead, whereas on humans they would level with the eyebrows. Unlike most other mammals, they have no bodily hair, besides that on their head, eyebrows, and eyelashes.

Drow
Drow, also referred to as "Dark Elves, are a subspecies of Elf. Their skin is typically black, or a very dark shade of brown or grey. Their hair ranges in the grey scale from white to black. They are more aggressive by nature than their fairer counterparts, but not inherently "evil." They live underground, and prefer the dark to sunlight.

Half-Elves
Half-Elves are half Elf or Drow, the other half human. Elves cannot reproduce with any species besides humans and other Elves. By average they are slightly taller than pure Elves, but still slightly built and beautiful, though not always quite so perfect-looking. They often grow facial hair. They are generally somewhat less proud and more reckless than Elves, with their more human urges and emotions. Their average lifespan is 600 years.

Wood Elves
The Wood Elves live in the forested country of Alion.
