Elf

The elves of the world hold the greatest connection to nature, no matter where in nature they find themselves. Their long lifespans allow them to to gently mold their environments to their needs; growing beautiful civilizations of forest greenery, majestic castles of sand and sea glass, or carved into cliff faces. Their cultures shift slowly across the centuries, often perceived only by examining historical records. This pace of life can make the elves seem aloof and uncaring to those who have less time on the world but the beauty and longevity of their creations are the envy of all.
