The Continent

Half Elf

The Wandering Elves

Summary

The Half Elves are known far and wide and often mistaken for either of their other heritages especially in the higher class societies where intermingling with other species is considered abnormal. They reside mostly on either one of their homelands Triptych or Empyria, Not having a true place to call theirs.  

Lineage

Many Half Elves were born from the union of the Humans of Triptych and the Elves of Empyria, Though not the first contact between the two races it has definitely raised the population of the half elven species to it's peak since the Age of Three. Their mixed heritage grants them adaptability and resilience, traits well-suited for a life of wandering and as such many would develop a wanderlust for adventure not straying in one place too long - Embracing their dual identities and drawing from both human and elven cultures as they traverse the lands.  

Nobility

However not all half elves choose to lead a nomadic existence, Some are born into noble families in either the great cities of Empyria or Triptych, where their unique heritage can be both a blessing and a curse. Raised in opulence and privilege they often navigate the complexities of high society with faces of the upper class still unsuited to the ideal of another species that don't share the same lineage and tradition.  

Identity and Belonging

For almost all half elves the question of identity and belonging is a constant thought, Caught between the two worlds they rely on forging their own path - Seeking acceptance and understanding amidst a society that often views them with suspicion or curiosity.  

Abilities

One notable aspect of half elven heritage is their innate talent for magic, inherited from their elven ancestors. While elves possess a natural affinity for magic, humans however do not as they have to put in the effort to learn and control it.The half elven people have an innate knowledge of basic magic without all the rigorous study that comes along with it.
