Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
While they do not have as good of senses as their Veldmathi ansestors, they have more accute hearing and eyesight than humans. In addition, they also are not as in tune with magic as the Veldmathi, so they can only sense magic that is closer or bigger.

Any half-elf who grows up with the velmathi usually does not eat meat, and those that grow up with humans usually take on any taboos from them.
History
The first known half-elf was a child of 2 dragon riders in 6540 BCE, so the child was different in other ways. Since that point they were fairly uncommon, although records indicate that there were usually at least one born every 10-20 years to parents of the 2 races. They have often been shunned by humans because of their uncommon heritage. Because of this, many half-elves, if they have kids at all, mate with another half-elf.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Most half-elves are shunned by humans, and fare only a littie better with the veldmathi. Because of this, half-elves are usally loaners, or fiercely loyal to a small community of other half-elves.
