Homebrew Elf of Magnius Species Details
To accomplish her task, Esaris found a beautiful cat and said these words.
“Oh great creature of this world, I endow you with thy everlasting appearance and thy everlasting life. Take my form and help me restore the world of Heaven in this lifeless wood!”
As she said the final words, the cat stood on its feet and morphed into the first Elf. It mirrored Esaris in almost every way, the thin but strong body, the bright shining skin, and the most defining, the slightly pointed ears.
The elves of Magnius have been the constant target of hate and suspicion for as long as they have existed. But magic flows through their blood and they may yet be able to rise up.
Humanoids
Unlike the other elves of the multiverse, the elves of Magnius are the most human-like. They appear more like half-elves to untrained eyes.
Elves' skin goes from all human tones to a light grey, though this is rare. Most of their hair are human tones as well. They are often seen with facial hair as a sign of expression.
Mortal But Long Lived
Most elves live 200 or so years, outliving most other races. Some select few elves have figured out ways to become immortal and outlive even the most venerable humans.
Oppressed
Outside of the few elves who have escaped to their original homelands, most elves are servants of greater powers. For thousands of years, the elves have been enslaved under cruel human governments. Those who are freed or escape, often live a life of destitution and poverty. Only a select few return to Stygia, their ancestral homeland.
Outside of Coeleus, the elves have founded several republics on the continent of Morrorval (Castlefall). These are united into a loose confederation that is governed by the Elven Council. The Council serves as a unitary government and body for elven affairs across the world.
Adventurers
Those elves who have escaped slavery or were lucky to be born into a free country often find normal life boring and monotonous, leading to them taking up mercenary work or magic use. The famous Circle of Mages is one such organization, being made up of mostly elves, it provides an outlet for many to fulfill their true purpose.
Elf Names
Elves use a very strict naming scheme that deviates by gender. Elven (Elventongue) is a language derived from ancient human tongues that was passed down to elves when they were enslaved. It is often considered quite beautiful and an elf speaking is said to be like a flowing river of words.
