Homebrew Aquatic Elf Species Details

Aquatic elves frequently go adventuring to see what is in the great blue. Their ancestors took the greatest step, from land to sea, and it is not uncommon for younger aquatic elves to want to do the same in reverse, explore the lands above. They often see things differently from surface dwellers, using archaic descriptions and words learned from older Elvish languages. It is assumed to be a rite of passage, for once aquatic elves have seen what it is like in the Above, they usually return home in a century.
