Elves

Elves can live well over 700 years, giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply. They are more often amused than excited, and more likely to be curious than greedy. They tend to remain aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, elves can be focused and relentless. They are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance.   In the world of Mythra there exists a multitude of elves, they all share the same ancient blood, but look incredibly different, some have dark skin and live in the shadows. Others have bright almost golden skin, loving out in the sun in cities, while others stay in the woods, and are more comfortable wearing near nothing.   The High Elves of Riggard are probably the most prominent and most known. They've mingled with the other races for centuries and even held rule over Riggard and the Jaggerals at one point in time. The High elves are taller than their brethren, thin and lithe, with hair ranging from gold to pure white, and skin that is almost golden in color, often referred to as children of the sun.   The Wood Elves are the "bastard child" of the elves, High Elves, Drow Elves and Delphic Elves think less of these than they do eachother, simply because the wood elves live a more free life if you ask them. Running around the forest naked and barefoot, while the other elven races, dress in fancy robes and live sheltered lives behind walls or beneath the ground. Their skin tone and hair color ranges from a different array of greens and browns.   Drow Elves live far beneath the ground, they shy away from the sun, banished to live beneath the soil for atrocities committed several hundred years ago, they yearn for their rightful place, and are often aggressive and jealous of surface dwellers. Deep beneath the ground the perform henous experiments on prisoners or outcasts of their own race, fusing them with different creatures, like a spider or a lizard, most of these experiments fail. However some have been known to succeed. Their hair color is typically a pure white or a light grey, while their skin tone ranges from deep grey, to pure black.   Delphic Elves are addicted to the arcane and are a nomadic people, the magic in Mythra resides all around, however Delphic Elves can feel and sense this magic as a physical thing, they often travel to places with high concentrations of magic, and leave when they've exhausted this. The magic will return but it will take time to regain it's quantity in the areas after the Delphic have left. The Delphic became addicted to the arcane after they found away to turn pure Arcane into a way to recieve visions from the gods, also it leaves them in a magical trance where they can remain for several years. Because of this Delphic elves have a longer life span than most elves, nearing immortality. Their skin color range from a light purple to a dark teal, their hair color can range from a deep green, to a light pink.
