Specifications

Born to a human and an elf, the half-elf is a peculiar being. They often find themselves between a rock and a hard place. One parent living the double lifespan of the other can create quite some trauma, especially if they die when the kid is still younger. Do they want to outlive their human friends, or die before their elven ones?
Anywhere were humans and elves live together, half-elves will spring up quickly. Often forming their own sub-groups within the cities and villages they call home.
 
“The arrogance of an elf and the skill of a human to back it up, insufferable...
