Elves
Dark and mysterious, some small enough to disappear into a rabbit burrow, others towering, slender and graceful as the trees they were forged from. Elves were originally created by the pantheon gods in an attempt to rebel against the creator and take over Hadom for themselves. The elves, in turn, rebelled against the gods and now exist as their own sovereign, anti-theistic nation. Because of their unnatural origins, Elves are nearly incapable of creativity, and thereby, most forms of magic. To account for this, they keep creative humans as pets, to satisfy their love of art as well as their need for magic.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Humanoid shape. skin is capable of photosinthisic, supplying much of the nutrition other speices would normaly get from consuming plants.
Genetics and Reproduction
Reproduction is compatible with humans.
Growth Rate & Stages
Reproductive maturity is reached around twenty years of age, apart from this, there aren't really growth stages. Elves look like a miniature adult at birth, and are able to walk within a few hours. They continue to grow at a relatively steady rate throughout their entire lives.
Ecology and Habitats
Forests, under the canopy in bright indirect light.
The elves entire forest is a carefully monitored horticultural ecosystem, with all of the species present being domesticated to some degree, bred to be optimal within the ecosystem.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Eats primarily meat. mostly small domestic animals that can be eaten in one sitting. due to their ability for photsinthecis, they do not have to eat as regularly as humans. Two to three large meals a week is suficent
Additional Information
Facial characteristics
Long, sharp features, pointed ears, slanted eyes, arched brows and pointed chins.
Average Intelligence
Similar early brain development to a human, however they do not have developmental stages like humans do, the bran continues to develop similar to that of a child, throughout life, meaning that learning happens exceptionally fast, however emotions and self regulation are also developmentally the same as that of a small child, intense and often explosive. knowledge on self regulation can be gained and implemented with intention, but natural "maturity" does not come with age as it would in humans. The average citizen has a higher education than among other races, and their much longer lifespan gives them more time to gain wisdom.
Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms
They are almost wholly carnivorous, only consuming meat, and fruits that fall naturally from plants. They consider themselves the guardians of their forests and do all they can to protect, care and nurture the local ecosystem
Civilization and Culture
Average Technological Level
They have almoste no complex creaitive capasity themselves, however they have a great apreciation for arts and culteur, on top of its value in a magical capasity. They often keep captive humans to advance their arts and technolgy. The humans are very well cared for, like spoiled pets, so it is not uncomon for artists who feal underapreciated by other culters of the world to give their freadome up to become a ward of the elves
Common Dress Code
Elves wear primarily leather and animal based fibbers. they will also use naturally dropped leaves to adorn their garments, and the wood of trees that die of natural causes. They do not use any metals in their garb or any other area of life.
Culture and Cultural Heritage
Their culture has bean developed for them by their human wards, so it is a sort of mish mash of other cultures, utilizing those aspects of the other cultures that mesh with the elves anti-theistic theology and heavy emphasis on the natural world.
Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals
They have an annual festival celebrating their rebellion against their nephalem overlords, as well as equinox and solstice celebrations. They also have a monthly full moon feast.
Common Taboos
Eating any 'living' plant mater (that which was not dropped naturally by the plant) is viewed similarly to cannibalism. Humans are viewed similarly to animals, so any relationship that would be considered inappropriate or weird with an animal will be seen that way with a human as well.
History
Created by the pantheon gods after the great flood in an attempt to rebel against the creator. They in turn rebelled against their own creators and have created their own sovran region. They reject all gods on the grounds that they believe the their influence on the world is primarily negative, and there for they are unworthy of worship.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Reproduction is posible betwean elves and humanoids and the ofspring is not steril. Orks are looked on as pitiable, opresed relitaves, nephlim are veiwd as evil spawn of evil gods.
