Basic Information

Biological Traits

• Dark Elf

  Dark Elves live a life very similar to the Silven Elves, only they do it far underground. Over the years, the exact reason this branch of the elven species went underground. They live in a world of dark and vile caves that are spotted by their great cities. They venture to the surface to plunder, but occasionally some decide to stay on the surface. Most who have decided to remain permanently on the surface are not as evil-hearted as those who keep the underground cities glowing.

  • +1 Intelligence
  • Darkvision: A dark elf does not have the low-light vision of the other elves. Instead, they can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and dark elves can function just fine with no light at all.
  • Globe of Darkness: The dark elf can create a globe of darkness 3 times a day. The globe is complete and cannot be seen through with darkvision. The globe can be placed up to 30 feet away from the character and is always 30 feet in diameter.
• Gold Elf

  As a Gold Elf, you have a keen mind and a mastery of at least the basics of magic. Gold Elves have bronze skin and hair of copper, black, or golden blond. Their eyes are golden, silver, or black.

  • +1 Intelligence
  • With an intelligence of 14+, the gold elf receives the slow mana progression rather than cantrip magic. First level is free, but they must spend points to rank it up.
  • With an intelligence of 18+, the gold elf receives the medium mana progression rather than cantrip magic or the slow mana progression. First level is free, but they must spend points to rank it up.
• Silven Elf

  Also known as Island Elves, Silven Elves reside mostly on the islands that have become the Kingdom of Sivanish. They are generally dark-haired and green-eyed, with very pale complexions the color of new cream. They simply do not tan, no matter how much time they spend under the sun. Silven elves prefer to wear light pastels, blues and greens and violets, and often dwell in homes built into living wood, high in the trees.

  • +1 Intelligence
• Wood Elf

  As a wood elf, you have keen senses and intuition, and your fleet feet carry you quickly and stealthily through your native forests.

  • +2 Wilderness Lore
• Wild Elf

  Wild elves are tribal. They tend to have dark brown skin and dark brown to black hair. Many consider them savages, but they feel they are more of a true elf, at one with nature since the rest of the elves lost their primal essence building kingdoms. Tribes of wild elves are scattered throughout the world, though none remain in the elven isles of Slivanish.

  • +2 Dexterity
  • Wild elves do not get the Arcane spark for 0 APPL like the rest of the elves. Instead, they have the Nature spark and get their mana progression for half the initial cost, but they must spend full points to rank it up.
