Half-Elf

Half-elves, as a result of their unique heritage, exhibit a confidence and strength of personality uncommon amongst both humans and elves, a result of the blending between elven perceptiveness and human passion and drive. Half-elves are natural leaders and negotiators, and, perhaps because of their reality of living in two worlds, are unusually open-minded. Some half-elves manifest this leadership through confidence and bravery, but others are cordial and polite, manifesting their force of personality in a subtler but no less effective manner.
Like elves, half-elves are curious and inventive creatures, though this was coupled with the powerful ambition of their human parents. Half-elves also share a love of the natural world and art with their fey parents.

Description

Unlike true Tel'Quessir, however, male half-elves were capable of growing facial hair and often did so to distinguish themselves, in part, from their elven parents. Half-elven ears were about the size of human ones, but like elves, they were pointed on the ends. Half-elves were also notably more durable and passionate than either elves or humans, a unique result of the two races' blending. Half-elves usually adopted the dress and hairstyles of the culture among which they were raised. However, it was also fairly common for half-elves raised among humans to wear elven clothing in order to proudly display signs of their dual heritage. Regardless of what they wore, half-elves stood out in a crowd through the combination of physical distinctiveness and force of personality.
Most half-elves were descended from moon elves. Pairings of elves and other races also existed, though they were rare.

Homelands

Half-elves, being half-breeds, have no true homelands, though half-elves are common in some regions, such as in Aglarond, Gulthandor, the Dalelands, or Luruar. Before their mass migration northwards following the Spellplague, half-elves were also common in Cormyr and the High Forest. In these regions there were highly concentrated populations of half-elves, particularly so in Aglarond, which was the only country where half-elves had become the majority.
Half-drow are most commonly encountered in Dambrath and in the Underdark. House Ousstyl, in particular, was known for having mated with humans.
Though rare, half-sea elves could typically be found in the western shore communities of Amn, Calimshan, Lantan, Tethyr, Waterdeep, the Sword Coast, and the Moonshae Isles. Near Water-deep they could be found in the sea elf villages of Tharqualnaar and T'Quessio. They could also at times be found operating in the Great Sea as merchants.

Lifespan

Owing to their human parentage half-elves mature in their late teens. As they age, the appearance and effects of time on half-elves slow in compered to their human parentage. They can live to a maximum of 180.
