Elves

They are the second most abundant species on Eltraia, and have a strong affinity for magic. Though they have less muscle fibers than many races, they are very dexterious and flexible. It is not uncommon, however, to have elves that rely on physical strength, much like humans. They are taught many forms of magic at a young age as a standard educational curriculum, and as a result the majority of elves have a good, if not advanced, understanding of magic.

Appearance

Elven people are somewhat similar to Humans, in terms of height and physical features. Elves are easily identifiable by their long, pointed ears and slender form- elves tend to eat considerably less than other races, since they retain the energy provided by food for longer. Mainland elves have a pale, golden tone to their skin, which are commonly hairless, save the hair on their heads. They usually have brown or blonde hair, though never black or red. Brown hair is more common than blonde. Silver hair is a rarity, and is regarded as extremely attractive to elves. Northern elves tend to have a paler, almost white tint to their skin, and are generally taller than Mainland Elves. Elves near the equator are more tanned in appearance, and usually have darker hair than other elves.
