Elf

Description

In body, the elves differ less from humanity, but have significant characteristics. Their forms are taller and more slender than humans, and with pointed ears, it’s nigh impossible to mistake them for any other species. Their eyes are especially striking—often vibrant shades of violet, gold, blue, or amber, among many others, with a kind of brightness that almost feels otherworldly.

When an Elf moves low to the ground—whether crouching or just being careful—you won't hear a thing. No rustling grass, no crunching leaves, not even a creaky floorboard. It's not something they learn; it's just part of who they are. That quiet grace comes from a deep, natural connection to the world around them.

Personality

While the mentality of elves differs from one type to the next, the Elves are considered a prideful race, most of the time having a strong affinity for their homeland. Though egotistical at times, they hold a degree of patience uncommon to other races, not quick to shun other species. Often, this pride is taken on its face as egotism, but to do so is to deny the Ildae a past wrought with failure. With time and turmoil comes wisdom, and when surrounded by new people, they carefully choose who is worthy of their respect. With the hard-won knowledge that isolation is a fool's gambit, they maintain measured patience with all of their constituent races. To the Ildae, discipline is paramount, tempered by vibrant works of creative expression that serve as outlets for an otherwise reserved society.
