Life Elf
by Quille
Each clan holds ties to one major aspect of the Feywild, Seelie or Unseelie, Summer or Winter, Light or Dark. These four clans are as follows: The Avelaern or Life Elves, the Dreskaern or Death Elves, the Lunaern or Moon Elves, and the Solaern or Sun Elves. It is these core aspects that instill within the elvish people their power and their sorrow. For the elves are a long lived people, a people that can love, but feel the loss all the harder as the world changes around them as they remain unchanged. Because of this sense of time and the flow of it around them, elves tend to remain aloof and seemingly uncaring to those who lives are so short, but this is only to protect themselves from the pain that will come. For like all fey, they feel emotions far stronger than most of mortal kind.
Perhaps it is because of this that elves were granted the gift of love, or perhaps it is a curse, for elves, like with their fey ancestors can bond with any creature, creating an empathic connection between themselves and those they call friend, or those they call lover. It is from this connection, that the elves can find their gift of love made manifest, for they can have children with any mortal people.
Physical Description
Elves are a tall and lithe people with an almost alien appearance, standing on average a foot taller than the average human they seem to almost move with a graceful step as their lithe bodies moves with the wind rather than against it. They have long bodies and limbs with very little hair, though their heads can grow long luxurious locks and simplistic beards. Elven eyes, are almost cat-like in appearance, overly large, and iris’ like a cats, they are able to see further than most mortals, likewise, they have elongated ears that allow them to pick up and interpret vibrations from a greater distance. Elven appearance varies greatly between the four clans beyond these key aspects. Light Elves or Avelaern are a vibrant skinned people with skin ranging from light pale green, to a lustrous emerald green, to a deep earthy brown, or shades of tan like that of sand, and everything in-between. They, like all elves, have a pair of horns atop their head, ranging in appearance from deer-like antlers to antelope prongs, with some instead bearing long feathered antennae like tufts. Their eyes range in color from a vibrant amber, to a luxurious green, to a sapphire blue. While their hair falls in shades of silver, green, brown, and amber or gold. Light Elves are touched by the Seelie courts, and from this connection, their souls glow brighter, everything seems more vibrant around them as if they are giving off an inner light.5e Racial Stats

Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.Basic Information
