High Elf - Species

High Elves are the luminous children of intellect, magic, and refinement, the proudest and most enduring of elvenkind. With their graceful features, keen minds, and ageless beauty, they are often seen as the epitome of elven superiority—at least, in their own eyes. Masters of arcane study and ancient traditions, High Elves believe themselves to be the inheritors of a legacy that stretches back to the dawn of civilization. Their cities, crafted from gleaming spires and woven with enchantments, are testaments to an age when elves ruled unchallenged, before the world was overrun with the crude and short-lived ambitions of lesser races.

Magic flows through a High Elf’s veins as naturally as breath, whether studied in the grand halls of mystical academies or inherited as an instinctual birthright. To them, knowledge is power, and power is responsibility—or a right, depending on the individual. Their society values art, philosophy, and precision, and even in war, they fight with a calculated elegance, wielding spells and blades with seamless efficiency. Yet, their brilliance often breeds aloofness and arrogance, for what is the opinion of a mortal who will be dust in the span of a single elven lifetime?

But not all High Elves remain in their gilded towers. Some wander the world, seeking knowledge, adventure, or purpose beyond the confines of tradition. Others reject the rigid expectations of their kin, choosing to live among other races, though they are forever marked by their otherworldly poise and piercing intellect. Whether seen as noble sages, distant overlords, or meddling sorcerers, High Elves carry themselves with the undeniable presence of those who have seen centuries pass and expect to see countless more.
