Half Elf

The term half-elf is used to refer to any being of mixed elven ancestry. Typically half-elves are a mix of Human and Elf blood, though not always. The term is not necessarily a reflection of 50-50 bloodlines, and there are some people several generations that still use the term. Typically, once a bloodline no longer carries the markers of both races, they no longer use the term.
Half-Elves grow up in a cultural grey area. The live significantly longer than their human counter parts, but dramatically less than their elven relations. This inequity can make life challenging for half-elves growing up in cultures dominated by either. Many half-elves choose to live in communties with others like themselves or in isolation away from either parent group.
The largest communities of Half-elves are on the continent of Morain.
