High & Snow Elf

Due to similarities between High Elves and Snow Elves in appearance, we have combined the two for ease of access to skins.

The High Elves are the tallest and longest lived of the Elven subraces; with recorded purebred heights ranging between 5’8” and 6’6”, but generally averaging between two to four inches of six feet in height; with women being slightly shorter on average than men. They are widely known and identified among the various Elven clans by their fairness of skin, the color of which ranges from pale white to a light tan - but often manifesting somewhere in between. Their bright skin is often complimented by soft straight or wavy hair ranging from bright metallic platinums and silvers to golden or flaxen blondes and occasionally light browns. While blue, aqua, and violet eyes are exclusive to the subrace; instances of colors ranging from deep purples to vibrant greens have all been recorded; the one constant being that the eyes seem to shine when exposed to the light due to naturally occurring reflective deposits in the irises stemming from their magical heritage. High Elven facial features are generally angular and refined - with distinct brows, high cheekbones, and pointed ears ranging from three to five inches in length. Their skin is supple and smooth by nature, soft like silk to the touch and seemingly impervious to the weathering of age. So much so that the age of an adult High Elf cannot be appropriately guessed save by the deposits in their eyes, which becomes noticeable in the sun and moon at fifty and continue to grow at in vibrance at a progressively slower rate until five hundred. They are blessed with heightened immune systems and metabolisms; resulting in both an innate resistance to most diseases, and particularly lightweight bodies - with streamlined and dexterous physiques ranging from ectomorphic to mesomorphic in nature. That is, of course, not to say that there are no heavy or muscular High Elves; or that they are viewed with revulsion - simply that they are not the norm.

The Mali’fenn are generally around 5'7 and 6' tall and have muscular builds on average, results of their time passing through the World Altar. The average Mali’fenn has a hair color ranging from white to pale blonde, with any darker color being unheard of. Their eye colors range from white-silver to hyper blue, to a deep amethyst and everything in between. Any other eye colors indicate mixed-blood with either High Elves or other races, which is not necessarily frowned upon. They lack much of the inherent magical prowess formerly exhibited by their brethren, though they are by no means unable to use magic. Their high cheekbones and angular faces have been softened, somewhat, though their ears ranging from two to four inches in length have become sharpened and angled.
