Elves

Elves are a prevalent race in Tascallon. Combining the subraces, they make up almost 30% of the total world population. Generally speaking, they have pointed ears and highly angular features. The elven subraces are said to be descendants of an ancient group of people who were once humans, but upon Hangatyr's Sacrifice some preferred to initially stay among the Astral Pathways. After a century, the Pathways proved to continue to be too dangerous for them, and they caved, entering Tascallon en masse. Half of them saw the world they entered as a place bereft of beauty, and strove to bring brightness and joy to the world. These became the Sky Elves, the race responsible for the construction of The Skywall and its empires. Others, tempered by their need to survive the Pathways turned to a culture valuing preservation of their race at all costs, creating the Eitur Elves.
  No matter the subrace, elves have a slightly stronger attunement to aether compared to humans due to the extra time they spent in the pathways.
