High Elf
High Elf
High elves are graceful warriors and wizards who originate from the realm of the Feywild. They are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in places of ethereal beauty, in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances waft on the breeze. High elves are hellbent on order and structure, seeking to tame the untamable and create the strongest empire Deoryüm has ever known.

- 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.

With their unearthly grace and fine features, high elves appear hauntingly beautiful to humans and members of many other races. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. They are more slender than humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. Males and females are about the same height, and males are only marginally heavier than females.
High elves’ coloration encompasses the normal human range and also includes skin in shades of copper, bronze, and almost bluish-white, hair of green or blue, and eyes like pools of liquid gold or silver. High elves have no facial and little body hair. They favor elegant clothing in bright colors, and they enjoy simple yet lovely jewelry.
High elves have always found their solace in the extremely deital richness of Leukos, even long before it was known as Leukos and was instead an island of Luswere. They are a highly religious race, completely reliant on their gods and the powers bestowed upon them. During Kadamitas , more than 90% of the high elf population went extinct. High elves in any other location are usually emissaries, missionaries, or on other types of official business.
