Elf

The Elfin people were once powerful and prosperous. Created and raised by the good hearted Giants, they grew jealous of the Mantle when it was passed to them. They returned to the old methods of The Reign, and created Men as a servile race.

The Elves had their art and music and food, while Men toiled away as their slaves for uncounted thousands of years. Following the War of the Revenant, Mankind rose up and destroyed the Mantle. In fear, the Elves retreated to deep forests and tall mountains, where they have struggled to look after themselves.

Elves have an ethereal look. With long ears, sharp chins, high cheek bones and slender fingers, they are tall and graceful. Despite the hate most Men have for Elves, few will deny their beauty.

Appearance
Elves are similar to Men in appearance, standing between six and eight feet, with distinctive bestial features. One might notice their clawed fingers, extended canine teeth, long pointed ears and large cat-like eyes. They generally have high cheekbones, too, and long, radiant hair of any colour.

Elfin features can shift, slightly, depending on the mood of the Elf. It is a strange thing to witness; in moments of passion they may more noticeably resemble a hound or cat, in calm almost as an ethereal Man. One would be hard pressed to say exactly what has changed, but the effects are plain.
