Elves
Youthful one, thy longevity knows no end..
Elves, akin to humans, compose a large portion of the realm’s population and as such, as regarded as one of the main races. Despite this, each elf differs depending on their specific sub-species..
Generally, they can be more aloof and detached from society, as their long lives tend to give them a different view on life. Although they can come off as cold at times, they do not mean to be such, and highly value those they find close to themselves, be it friends or family.
High Elves

High Elves are known to be the most civilized, having strayed from their homes and origins which was once the forest.. They tend to live within settlements built by humans. They follow the same culture and lifestyle that they were brought up in, so unless they grew up in the forest.. It is very rare to see a High Elf possess information of nature the same way Forest or Dark Elves do.
Though, they possess a better understanding of magic as they have likely been around it more than they think, being enveloped within human civilization having graced them with such.

Forest Elves are the remnants of what once was all Elves. They tend to build their homes within forests and rarely mountains, preferring to work with nature. Due to such, they have the ability to understand animals and their emotions, and have a natural talent for woodworking.
Due to the fact that they must hunt to eat, they mainly have builds consisting of a mixture between ectomorph and mesomorph. They prefer to stay willowy, akin to a tree, so they may hide and camouflage when necessary.
They tend to be less serious, often appreciating their lives and making the most of it, and so, they are known for their more cheerful demeanor. However, to see a more serious Forest Elf is not uncommon either.

Brown, Blonde, and very rarely: Black, Red or Ginger.
