Elf
While generally taller than humans, elves possess a fragile grace, accentuated by long features and sharply pointed ears. Their eyes are wide and rounded, featuring large and often vibrantly colored pupils that make up the entire visible portion of the eye. These pupils give them an alien look and allow them to see sharply even in very little light.
Elves gradually adapt to their environment and their companions, and they often take on physical traits reflecting their surroundings. An elf who has dwelled in primeval forests for centuries, for example, might exhibit verdant hair and gnarled fingers, while one who's lived in a desert might have golden pupils and skin. Elves reach physical adulthood around the age of 20, though they aren't considered to be fully emotionally mature by other elves until closer to the passing of their first century. A typical elf can live to around 600 years old.
Elves in Boros believe they are ancient descendants of Endrellion, the God/Godess of Nature. Because of this, their society and culture revolves around being one with the lands they live in. For every tree felled to build a lodge, a new one is planted, for every fish taken from the ocean, another is thrown back.
In Rebullia, the Elven people live in the Elven lands of Lefohre, named after the leader of the Elven expedition to the new continent. The Elven society in Rebullia is focused on maintaining balance in nature, and studying and cataloguing all of the unique flora and fauna to be found on Rebullia. Elven timber from the jungle trees found in their lands are renowned to be of the finest quality. There are also plentiful shoals of fish and other sea creatures off the coast, and the Elves are known to supply the entire continent with the most prized seafood.
