Half Elf

Half elves are a strange race that tip toes between mortal and elves. They are free to flow between the worlds as they please. There is no true home for a half elf, as many tend to band in caravans and traveling entertainment groups throughout Lunaecia. With such a variant of family lineage between the different races and of elf blood, half elves can belong anywhere they please, except Faykeep. The only half elves accepted there are ones with human mortal and elf blood. Once in their life, an elf from Faykeep will ask if the half elf would like to return to Faykeep, if they say yes they can never leave Faykeep. If they do so they may never return. If they say no they wander throughout Lunaecia. Only on very certain circumstances can a half elf come back to Faykeep only to visit. Half elves in the mortal realm usually band together with others as well as rejected and exiled elves and/or their parents.
