Elf
Elves are sentient bipeds often recognized by their pointed ears. They have been known to form large social groups, sometimes with other sentient species.
Biology
Physiology
Elves are often recognized by their pointed ears. By maintaining a steady diet of mana, elves retain a youthful appearance and can live up to five times longer than a human. However, the amount of mana required to be ingested increases as they age, and most elves cannot afford to extend their life this long.
Distribution
Malaszec
The first known elvish civilization in Malaszec existed in inland along the Sarlej River, where the modern day city of Sarlej stands. Many early Malaszec elvish civilizations were isolationists, and rejected other species. At times, Malaszec elves broke this isolationist streak, and great empires were founded by elves in the Malaszec peninsula. The last of which was the final Malaszec Empire, which united the Malaszec peninsula for the first time. During this time, integrated cities of elves and humans became the norm in Malaszec, which continues to this day. In Malaszec, elves can be found in greatest numbers in the west (often dubbed “Elvish Country”) or living in metropolitan areas across the country, with the exception of faerie cities not designed for cohabitation.
Erothena
Elves are the dominant species in Erothena.
