Homebrew Fawn Species Details
No-one among humans understands exactly where the fawns came from, but elven legends tell of an ancient god who summoned forth magical nature spirits, which took the form of animals. So the god intertwined their spirits with elves to create the physical form of the fawns. Elves that have become fawns were said to be the fairest, gentlest and most connected to nature, despite the fact that elves can be fused to a powerful nature spirit through the use of magic, worthy or otherwise. However most elves do not consider these to be fawns, only shams, despite racially being the same.

Trance
Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
