Elves

Elves are a mystical race of people who were once native to the Feywild, but were banished millennia ago along with the Goblins for a long forgotten crime. As the centuries since their banishment passed, their connection to that magical plane has withered, shortening their once enormous lifespans and dwindling their once innate magical powers.

Elves reach maturity at around 20, and they can live to be up to 250 years old. There are several different ethnic groups of elves in the world.
They generally stand between 5 and six feet tall, and tend towards more lithe and slender forms and features, however this is not always the case.
Possibly the most unique trait of the elves is that they are always born as twins, usually fraternal but sometimes identical. Elves share a special connection with their twins, often sharing dreams or dreaming of the others memories or current experiences.

Caligo Elves

Caligo Elves dwell in the Caligo Jungle to the south, in the kingdom called L'anth. They have dark skin and hair, and pointed ears.
They are known to tame and ride dinosaurs for use in battle and labour.
They favour the use of curved blades and archery in combat.
Their culture venerates the natural world, and their cities tend to leave much of the jungle around them intact, with building being built around trees and roadsides filled with greenery.

Chromadian Elves

Chromadia was destroyed over a thousand years ago, but many of the surviving elves moved north and south to integrate with Lubik and the Indarrans.
They have fair skin and hair, with colorful eyes of purple, gold, and green.

Snow Elves

Snow Elves are native to the Boreal Expanse in the north of Udora. They are a tribal and nomadic peoples, with a strong tie to the land and the wildlife on the tundra. They are most famous for their taming of wild caribou and woolly mammoths. Snow elves have white or silver hair, and grey, white, or pale blue eyes. Their skins is covered in a soft and short layer of white fur, which can be hard to see from a distance as it blends with their white skin. The ears of snow elves are much larger and more animalistic than those of their southern cousins.
