Homebrew Elf (homebrew) Species Details
Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in places of ethereal beauty, 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, and the good things of the world.
The Fey Wild, Home of the Elves, has been cut off from the world. It leaks in as a one way door and no current magics have allowed passage, or communication, back. Most elves not born here were lost children or hunteres who accidentally wandered into one of these leaks. Ambassadors and scouts have also been sent through to try and keep an elven kingdom functional on the Material Realm but it has proven difficult as only one major elven city remains.

Trance
Elves don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is "trance.") 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 that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Once you use this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
