Homebrew Ellesteran Elf Species Details
Ellesteran elves are the most arrogant of all elvenkind, seeing themselves above all other races save Quellesteran elves, whom they see as equals. Deadly warriors, devoted priests and unrivaled mages, their ego is not without some truth. Ellesteran elves have gold, silver, platinum blond, blond or brown hair, sparkling blue or green eyes, and dress in robes of flowing yellow, blue, white, green and/or violet. They are also among Chandor’s most beautiful people; ugly Ellesteran elves are unheard of, save those made so by magic or scaring.
