High Elf

A faint tint of gold or coppery skin gives away the origin for these half-elves. Their sharp minds and connection to magic stems from Makeiro's blessings, though they are not as potent.

Moon Elf

Darker hair and lighter skin, or perhaps the deep, dark eyes of the moon elves gives away these half-elves. They have light feet and prefer being awake at night rather than the day time, making them excellent thieves.

Green tints in the skin or the fiery red hair of the Wood elves is impossible to miss in these half-elves. They prefer seclusion or small villages near forests and have an inherent connection to nature.

Once per short or long rest, you may cast the Friends cantrip without the target becoming aware of it at the end of its duration.
