Homebrew Elf (Alegasia) Species Details
Humanoid in appearance, they had noticeably angular features, slanting eyebrows and pointed ears, as well as thin angular faces. They were generally tall and slim. According to legend they are also the fairest people of the land, partly because of the physical transformation caused by the Dragons' influence on them (and were thus also known as the Fair Folk).
Most Elves were more gifted with magic than the other races and had an innate knowledge of their true names, thus giving them a great deal more power compared to the other races of Alagaësia. Elves were also known to be highly intelligent and wise, which is perhaps due to their long lives, or possibly by their union with the dragons.

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.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
