Pure elf
Formally known as Avae Faen, these are the original elf race.
When building use the high elf stats.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Elves maintain a standard humanoid appearance with two arms and legs, a head, and a torso. The only physical trait that would set them apart would be their elongated ears. Their etheral beauty and some slight colouring varaitions are more common among subgroups.
Ecology and Habitats
Although elves can be seen in any society willing to accept them, they feel most at home around green, warm nature such as forests and meadows. Here they will treat nature as its own sentient entity, granting it respect and reverence. With the rise of technology and pollution in areas like Iron Oak and they tend to stay to the main lands of Fealands and the capital Neuvoterre
Dietary Needs and Habits
Elves as a whole tend to be vegan or atleast vegatarian with use of dairy and honey being seen by many as a luxury and only consumed when it is from a reliable well cared for source. Some Night elves and half elves are pescatarians but tend to only eat fish they have themselves caught.
Food is not really stored it is usually harvested used and consumed in a constant cycle. Similar to halflings they do enjoy turning fresh produce into jams, chutneys and pickles so things do not go off or get wasted. Elven wine is also a use of left over fresh produce. It is a tasty, fruity beverage that, while containing alcohol, is meant more for enjoyment of the drink and not simply intoxication.
They strongly believe in recycling and not letting anything go to waste so they do encourage composting in everyones own homes and will offer to compost and recycle for any neighbours who are unable to.
Behaviour
Out of all the elves Pure Elves are the most stereotypical. They take their time with everything, move with grace and elegance at all times, are wise and intellectual and most of all devoid of all and any emotion. They do still feel emotion and will express it at times but are so incontrol of their being they hear all the time from other races how cold and emotionless they are.
Additional Information
Average Intelligence
Elves are rather intelligent, having a much longer lifespan to better hail knowledge from their experiences. This manifests not only in their designs and architecture, but their clear propensity towards magic. Although not all elves are cut out to be wizards and sorcerers, they are naturally more suited for the job than many other races.
Civilization and Culture
Beauty Ideals
Although beauty is truly subjective and some may dislike the grace and elegance of an elf, their beauty and eternal youth is a fasciate that is difficult to deny or avoid. While elves on the whole are not vein creatures they do like to take their time on things and are quite happy to do things like take an hour to brush their hair or paint their faces in specific detail. However this is less about beauty and more about living sunch long lives that time does not seem as important to them.
Common Dress Code
In part due to their long lives and also their kindred spirit with nature, they are quite comfortable with their bodies and will wear clothes to accentuate their form, from tight leathers made to not restrict their bounding leaps, to high fashion dresses meant for socialites. Depending on the subsect of elf and their culture they either prioritise style over comfort or comfort over practicality.
History
One of the original species created on this planet. They were made from the woodlands and earth making them predispositioned to have a close affiliation with nature.
Then with the power granted to them by the angels they created the animals of the land and the creatures known as the Fey. These were all created to mirror the elves love of nature and desire for balance and order in the world.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Elves are known to have a great distaste for orcs, goblins and their allies, often viewing them as brutish, lacking culture, and generally agents of destruction. To the point they are accused for the banishment of these races to the expanse.
Elves have no ill will in general towards dwarves often seeing them as hard workers but nothing of note more than that. Rare individuals can even find dwarves inferior due to their short stature and inability to run for long distances.
Humans and Elves have had a turbulent history. Elves find humans to be quick to overreact to things and lacking skills in true negotiation and respect for nature. Their current love and progression of technology is a concern for the Elves due to pollution and deforestry concerns.
