Between 100–500 years of age. Elves may leave their homes at any time after they reach adulthood (at about a century of age). Adventurers older than 300 years are rare, as in time all Elves find the sea-longing that lies deep within their hearts to become irresistible.

Rivendell Elves are tall and slender, standing between 5'10" and 6'6". Your size is Medium.

Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. 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 as from 8 hours of sleep.

You have proficiency in History and Medicine, reflecting your understanding of ancient lore and healing arts.

As an action, you can heal a creature within 5 feet for hit points equal to your proficiency bonus. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) per long rest.

During a long rest, you can request a cryptic vision or hint from the Loremaster about potential future events. The clarity of these visions depend on your Intelligence modifier. This ability can be used once per long rest.

You are immune to ageing and disease.

You have proficiency in the Perception skill, and dim light doesn’t impose disadvantage on your Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on sight.

You can speak, read, and write Westron and Sindarin.
