Light Elves
Light Elves, the oldest species of elf, and the most pompous many say. They believe themselves better though they also experience mortal death and mortal emotions.-Resi, The Races of Erilel
Basic Information
Anatomy
Elves have similar anatomy and morphology to men, with two arms and legs, along with also having 206 bones. The only major difference is that elven leg and arm bones are longer than men's bones.
Biological Traits
Light Elves are the tallest of the mortal races and also have the lowest muscle mass. They also have the palest hair and eyes and tanned skin.
Genetics and Reproduction
Light Elves reproduce via the same method as men, except they gestate for 13 months before live birth. Light Elves also have the lowest fertility rate of the mortal species.
Growth Rate & Stages
Light Elves age the slowest of all the mortal races and have no real puberty period. They are considered physically mature at age 60 but not adults until 75 years. They are considered middle-aged at 150 years, and old aged at 250 years.
Ecology and Habitats
Light Elves prefer forested islands and reef-lined coasts. They also do not like marsh or cold areas.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Light Elves have a diet of both plant life and meat. They are not very hunter-gatherer centred people as they mostly fish for food and are a very "civilized" culture and think such things are beneath them.
Additional Information

Light Elves live under the Light Lord of the Court of Elves and have an incredibly patriarchal society where males are in charge of every position and are considered the head of the household. The only exception is the Mages Guild, where males and females participate on equal footing.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Most Light Elves live on the island of Everstone and the surrounding smaller islands. Though some have assimilated into the other provinces.
