Homebrew Elfling Species Details
Elflings are the elven offspring of elves who have spent the time since the child's conception in the fey wilds. They are considered to be the distilled fey essence of the parents they are borne of. They appear similar to elves, however they have a few differences. Firstly, they come in a whole rainbow of colors, from bright reds to deep blues. secondly, they have exaggerated fey ears, with tufts of fur on the ends, like a lynx. Thirdly, their eyes are always a shade of blue, green, or gold.
Elflings are still considered elf-spawn by most elves, and so earn a look into some sheltered elven societies, and also earn the sympathy of elves of any subrace, even high elves.
