High Elf

High elves were roughly of human height but were lighter. Even exceptionally strong high elves looked rather slim compared with other races, looking athletic rather than muscular. Most high elves are fair-skinned with blonde, brown or black hair. This was often worn long and loose. High elven eyes were most commonly grey, brown or green, with sun elves commonly possessing golden eyes and moon elves commonly exhibiting blue hues. Violet eyes were also not unheard of, though rarer.
High elves, like elves, grew at a decelerating rate throughout their lives. Very young high elves matured at a rate comparable with humans but during adolescence slowed to a near stop until about 100 years of age, at which point high elves were considered mature. Elves then remained vigorous and active until the middle of their third century. Even so, after this, most high elves suffered few of the infirmities of old age that plagued other races, remaining full of life until the end.
Common to all high elves was the fact that they didn't sleep. Instead, they entered a trance, for four hours a day. During this time they meditated on recent events.
