Half Elf
There is no stigma attached to being a half-elf in Eldarr. Elves hold all elven blood to be sacred, and a half-elf is no different to them than a full-blooded elf. The vast majority of half-elves live among their elven brethren as normal citizens. Other races often enjoy half-elves more than pure elves, as the half-elf's features are more intriguing than exotic, and, among more cultured or enlightened people, the half-elf reminds them of a time when the races got along better.
However, half-elves do have a link to the mortal world. A half-elf may choose to become mortal at any point in their life. This choice is one-time only, and is not a decision to be taken lightly. Elves often hold great sadness for their brethren that have chosen to limit their time on Eldarr, but many also hold a strange fascination and jealousy for the experience they will never have.
