Homebrew Fire Elf (Uskeche) Species Details

These elves generally have bronze, orange, or yellowish skin. They stand the same height and weight as most other elf races. Along the lobes of each ear, there is a yellow highlight running along it. Their skin pigment makes them seem afire when they are in the presence of firelight. This group of elves, millennia ago, sought refuge near volcanoes. They learned to become harmonious with the lava and the fire. As time progressed, they became proficient with blacksmithing and started trading with dwarves. Since they were more willing to get down to the dirty work, they have some respect from the stout folk. Some of the haughtier elf beings may deny their existence, seeing them as diminished like the dwarves they associate with. These elves have learned to master fire. Elaborate and delicate metal beams and structures don their cities paired with beautiful stonework. The elves revere their volcanoes, as they are their homes, and are very protective of them. They are on good terms and have traded well with the dwarves. In fact, slight dwarven influences can be seen throughout the culture in mannerisms, speaking, and art.
