Elves

Elves (, Erufu) are people that bear numerous similarities to humans, but with sharp elongated ears and long lifespans.

Overview
Elves come in variations, but overall they are noted for their otherworldly beauty and sharp elongated ears. Unlike most races, they hardly age and they can live for many thousands of years. For elves, having children is often only considered after centuries of marriage, likely due to their longevity but if it’s with a human they will speed up the process. Some have a distaste for fire that goes to the extent of them setting up wards to combat it. Their language is said to have the rhythm of a song or spell. There is a non violent enmity between them and the dwarves that is said to be as old as the gods. Elves possess a unique connection to animal life, thus can immediately calm a rowdy horse with a simple pat.

Elves do not usually eat meat or fish out of a desire of balance but if things like animals and fish do get over populated they will eat it or if it,s offered to them they will or if the animal they raise for farming dies or on special occasions.According to Forest Princess' husband, fruit ripens quicker compared to an animal and is more abundant. Additionally, the ecosystem would be threatened if they had to hunt for food. As such, elves mainly subsist on grasses, fruits, berries, and bugs, which provide a highly varied and easily replenished source of protein.

Their long ears are quite mobile and emotive, being completely a part of their body language.

High Elves
High Elves (, Hai erufu) are descendants of faeries that sport longer ears than other elves. High Elves make for a rare sight, as they don't often leave their forests; rarer still are ones that decide to become adventurers to sate their curiosity about the world.

Dark Elves
Dark Elves (, Dākuerufu) are a variant of their kind who generally pledge their loyalties to chaos and become Non-Prayers. However, there are a handful who do not choose this path and a dark elf can return to the side of order from time to time.
