Homebrew Christmas Elf Species Details
Short and Stout
Elfen skin ranges from deep brown to a paler hue tinged with red, but the most common shades are light brown or deep tan, like certain tones of earth. Their hair, worn long but in simple styles, is usually brown, blonde, or white, though paler Elfs often have red hair.
Long Memory, Long Grudges
Elfs can live to be more than 400 years old, so the oldest living Elfs often remember a very different world. This longevity grants them a perspective on the world that shorter-lived races such as humans and halflings lack.
Elfs are solid and enduring like the North Pole they love, weathering the passage of centuries with stoic endurance and little change.
Individual Elfs are determined and loyal, true to their word and decisive in action, sometimes to the point of stubbornness. Many Elfs have a strong sense of justice, and they are slow to forget wrongs they have suffered. A wrong done to one Elf is a wrong done to the Elf’s entire clan, so what begins as one Elf’s hunt for vengeance can become a full-blown clan feud.
