Homebrew Drow-Sea Elf Species Details

Sea elves fell in love with the wild beauty of the ocean in the earliest days of the multiverse. While other elves traveled from realm to realm, sea elves navigated the currents and explored the waters of many worlds. Today these elves can be found wherever oceans exist, as well as in the Elemental Plane of Water.

Drow-Sea elves are infused with the magic of the Underdark, an underground realm of wonders and horrors rarely seen on the surface above. You are at home in the dark depths of the Ocean and, thanks to your innate magic, learn to conjure forth both light and darkness. Your kin tend to have stark white hair and blue skin of many dark hues.
