Elf

The Elves of Ravnica are as much at home in the markets of Ivy Lane and the inns of Oak Street as their kin on other worlds are in ancient forests and fey castles. They scale the spires of cathedrals and meditate in gardens and greenbelts. They are part of the city, contributing to its vibrant life and sprawling growth while ensuring it never strays too far from its roots in the earth. Elves are associated with the principles and magic of nature. growth, and stability. Striving to live in harmony with both nature and the community of Ravnica, they are drawn to guilds that share those ideals, particularly Selesnya, Golgari, and Simic. The Gruul Clans revere nature but set themselves in opposition to civilization, so they don't hold much appeal for the typical Elf. Ravnica's Elves don't share the unearthly, haunting presence of their kin on other worlds, perhaps because of the extent to which the city has rubbed off on them. They can easily be mistaken for Humans from certain angles: particularly if their long, pointed ears and their delicate facial features aren't apparent.   Elf Subraces   High Elves The High Elves of Ravnica have been subsumed into the Simic Combine and have lost their original tribal name. They are more slender than other elves, and they tend to have angular features and pale skin that often verges toward greenish hues. This once proud race is considered all but extinct on Ravnica.   Wood Elves (Silhana) The wood elves of Ravnica, called the Silhana, are strongly associated with the Selesnya Conclave. Most guild-less Elves can also trace their ancestry to the Silhana. Their coloration covers the whole human range, and sometimes extends to green or copper colored hair.   Dark Elves (Devkarin) The word Drow isn't used on Ravnica but the Devkarin elves are sometimes called the Elves of shadow. They are closely connected to the Golgari Swarm, and because they generally live underground, they share other Dark Elves' sensitivity to sunlight. Unlike the drow of other worlds, their coloration is much the same as that of wood Elves, though their hair is usually dark brown or black.
