Homebrew Different Elf Species Details
Coming out of the East more than a millennia ago, elves are mysterious and rare enough to the other races to be considered mythical by some. Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live beyond the Marcher Hills in the wild lands once ruled by the Old Kingdom. They make their homes in the midst of ancient forests or in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances waft on the breeze. Elves love nature and magic, art and artistry, music and poetry. They cannot stay long outside the borders of their homes, as they begin to Wither when away for too long.
