Elves (elv-z)
Elves are the second-most populous race in the Earthion. This is because a large part of them live in human society, not to mention in populous droves in their Strongholds.
In anatomy, they're not that much different to humans, despite a few traits. Their most obvious is their pointed ears and their pale, sometimes even grey skin (Very rarely gray, if ever). They are also cowardly, and have a very low tolerance for alcohol. They also aren't as smart as humans. On the other hand, they have excellent eyesight and a knack for archery. They aren't very strong, naturally, so they make poor infantry. Their ears also hurt when they lie on their sides, so they typically sleep on their stomachs or on their backs.
Their main population follows a loose cult of hating humans, known formally as the Rupturian Elves, known commonly as the Relic Elves, as they have little society left to speak of.

Basic Information
Anatomy
They are completely humanoid, sharing most qualities with humans, however with a few differences, such as typically thin, weak bodies and always having pointed ears and pale skin.
Biological Traits
Pointed ears, pale or grey skin, thin appearance, cowardly attitude, excellent eyesight, excellent hearing.
Ecology and Habitats
They almost always inhabit forests or mountains. There also is a large population that mainly lives in cities, but almost none in steppes or plains.
Behaviour
These humanoids are particularly cowardly, for whatever reason. The Rupturian cult attempts to rectify this with a warrior zealot culture, but for the most part, it seems to fail.

Beauty Ideals
a stronger female elf is quite attractive, and any male elves that are effective in combat are also seen as attractive.
Gender Ideals
strong women is fine, but they must always be submissive to the men (with exceptions of queens and priestesses)
Average Technological Level
these humanoids have taken human technology, and rebranded it as their own. the others that live among humans and that don't follow the Rupture also use human technology.
History
Elven prehistory is similar to humans' prehistory. However, at some point around 7000 they began following Rupturian religion. This marked the beginning of a strictly racist and anti-human regime that most elves followed.
They lost a terrible war with the humans and giants, forcing the few Rupturian elves left into mountains and deep forests.
