Elf
Elves, second born of the mortals, who can trace their origin back to the High Elves (Ceyseln) created by Eiko out of the dust of the Faewild and the winds of the Eternal Plane. This connection to the Eternal Plane grants the High Elves a natural ability for magic but not all offshoots of their lingen keep the connection. The Dark Elves, or Moon Elves (Ceyeno) where the first off shoot from the High Elves, and arouse from clans of elves pledging themselves to Zeffon's sacred darkness and her moonlight. The Wood Elves (Ceylôn) arouse from clans who attuned themselves to Kon'rel's forest magic. The Sun Elves (Ceyåt) are Elves touched by Selulon's true light, giving them wings after her own pair of wings. The youngest of the elven lines are the Snow elves (Ceybes), with a guarded origin.
Once all elves where long lived, living as long as they had the will to do so, this power was fueled by the Faewild. All but the High elves and Moon elves lost this power during the weaving of the astral shield for the mortal plane. Now while most High elves can live to 400 years, and moon elves can live to 330, all other elves can muster 180 years of mortal life.
Sleep and Rest
Elves do not sleep normality but instead trance, for six hours instead of the 8 hours of sleep that other mortals partake in. Like other mortals Elves can only go so long without tracing, and suffer fatigue. High Elves and Moon elves only sleep under the effects of magic, and the experiences is unconformable to them. Wood, Sun and Snow Elves can willing nap, but sill require tracing.
Of the elves, their heritage epessages itself in different ways. The High Elves are as a whole gifted with magic, but are not gifted with being bookish, contrary to many a halfling joke. This natural gift of magic is used by High Elves in support of other skills if they do no focus on magic. The mystec of arcane magic rarely dwews in communities with High Elves. Moon Elves have better darkvision, but their eyes are sensitive to the blinding light of the sun. While mitigated with darkened crystal lenses, this is expensive, and above ground communities of Moon Elves become active at dawn and dusk to deal with mortals not sensitive to the sun. Moon Elves' magic is much more limited then High Elves, with the spell Dancing Lights (Fessun Såel) being as natural as talking. Wood Elves are swift of foot, but without training a trained runner could beat them. Their abilaty to hide in forset and other natural terrain is legendary, and the heroic poems speak highly of Tyna, who hid a week from the love struck demigod Myr'do. Sun Elves soar on wings, high into the sky. Unlike all other elves they lack the darkvision in any form, and it is a rare Sun Elf that is not far-sighted. However their ability to see things at far distances is peerless, useful given how far they often find themselves from the ground. Snow elves are in myth regarded as the youngest form of elf. Able to best weather exteretives of cold and ice, and they are the smallest elves on average. In thick snow where eyes are useless, snow elves use their supernatural sense of smell. Snow elves were also blessed with soul sight, the ability to see souls, but it is rare outside the sage bloodlines.
