![]() ![]() Sy-tel-quessir, or sylvan elves, were either considered as one race, two cultures of one race, or two separate races.Star elves: Also called mithral elves, they were an isolated subrace that lived on the demiplane of Sildeyuir.They lived a nomadic lifestyle, and often interacted with other races. Moon elves: Also called silver elves, moon elves were one of the most common subraces.Sun elves: Also called gold elves, sun elves were highly civilized elves with a natural gift for wizardry.There were at least nine different sub-races of elves: Subraces įrom left to right: a human, sun elf, wood elf, moon elf, drow, and wild elf. Many elves did not sleep, instead finding their rest in a meditative state called "reverie", which was as restful as true sleep but left them aware of their surroundings, similar to an eladrin's ability to enter a trance. ![]() Most elves remained healthy and full of life up until their death, which, if age-related, was usually between two and nine centuries. Unlike humans, elves did not age dramatically as their lifespan came to a close, with the most obvious changes being a change in hair color, alternatively graying or darkening. ![]() Biology Lifespan Įlves matured at roughly the same rate as humans, though they were not usually considered past adolescence until they reached 110 years of age. Cautious and cunning warriors, particularly of the bow, elves secured these homelands through guile and tactics. The elves, as a whole, preferred these secluded places of nature to the cities and nations of the civilized world, living in harmony with their natural surroundings. Society Homelands Įlves were usually found in small tribes throughout the forests of Toril, as well as on windswept plains and in mountain vales. Additionally, elves were extremely accurate in their attacks, having a degree of precision that would be unusual for other humanoids. This aided elves in many ways, allowing elves a high degree of perceptiveness that they could lend partially to allies. Elves were also more preternaturally aware of their surroundings than eladrin, as well as possessing better common sense. However, elves could move slightly faster than their eladrin kin and could move swiftly through even the roughest terrain. Like their kin the eladrin, elves were agile, dexterous creatures. Abilities Įlves had a number of abilities that set them apart from other humanoid races. However, despite how unpleasant some things such as war could be, elves became grimly serious if a threat to their friends, family, or livelihood made such actions necessary. They had a natural aversion to that which they saw as uninteresting tasks and were fun-loving by nature. Most elves loved simple joys such as dancing, singing, footraces, or contests of skill. Įlves tended to make strong and uplifting friends. Partially due to their long lifespan (though not entirely, since many long-lived races acted differently), elves had difficulty taking some matters as seriously as other races, but when threats they recognize did arise, elves were strong friends and allies to those they were loyal to. However, elves were not as flaky as others might interpret them to be, and they were typically responsible despite their almost whimsical nature. They were known for their impulsive behavior and, as a result, many races saw them as flighty or impetuous. Personality Įlves commonly possessed strong but swiftly passing passions, being moved easily to laughter, anger, or misery and as quickly calmed. Elves, like their cousins the eladrin, were fair and beautiful, handsome, and had pointed ears and no body hair except eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair. Elven eyes were commonly brown, hazel, or an emerald green. Often, elven hair was dark, either brown or black, with copper red or blond hair also found amongst wood elves, although orange or even green hues were not completely unheard of. Elves had a similar range of complexions to humans, with wood elves typically coppery or pale skinned and wild elves having darker pigmentation. Usually, true elves were a naturally slender and athletic race. ![]()
