Elf

Elves (known as "Mér" in Undercommon) are a prominent race on the continent of Lerania, most often found in the countries of Gwyll, Drova, and Malliese. Elves have had a long history of Lerania, beginning with the mystical Sylvian Elves. Though very different from their Sylvian cousins of the past, Elves in Lerania are some of the most magically-gifted, studious people.

Appearance
Elves are a thin, athletic race. Both male and female Elves have their height in the upper five foot range or the lower six foot range. Elves are naturally light, despite their stature, and typically weigh between 100 to 200 pounds at adulthood. Elves, depending on general health and species heritage, have lifespans between 500 to 750 years, and typically show no signs of aging after they have reached adulthood.

Pigmentation of the skin typically shows similar to that of Dwarves and Humans: a tone ranging from pale to a dark brown. However, Elves are also known to have black and gray skin (prominent in Drow). Eye colors belonging to Elves can be any color, but are most often similar colors to that of Humans and Dwarves.

Personality
Elves have a wide range of personalities based on their society, but a few things seem to remain constant between them: confidence, stubbornness, and a strict belief tradition. An Elf will likely believe wholeheartedly in their cause, regardless of what other information may be presented to them. As a result, many Elves will likely see themselves as more righteous than other races or even other Elves.

The Sylvian Elves
Sylvian Elves were the first recorded instances of Elves. They, according to Elven lore, had appeared from the hypothetical plane known as Tamthaoa; a heavily-forested jungle world. Upon being brought to Donia, the Sylvian Elves spread their influence quickly across the continent. In a march lasting only twenty years, the Sylvian Elves had formed an empire stretching from the northern coast of Malliese to the island of Pashbagga, and from their capital of Animelle to the coastal cities of Coram.
