General Information

The High Elven race is one of the most ancient mortal races. Few, if any, have existed longer than they have. They are a fair and noble race who value wisdom and peace. They are most known for their magical affinity, long lifespans and intelligence. They are best described as beautiful and graceful. All are proud, but some border on being conceited. High Elves stand a little taller than the average Human, about 6 to 6-and-a-half foot. They have soft, angelic features, that distinguish them from their smaller cousins. Their hair color can range from shades of blonde, brown, red and silvery-white. Their irises can be colored shades of blue, green, silver and gray. All the High Elves share a common history and racial pride, and most possess deep insight. Though some inhabit other kingdoms, their primary loyalty is to their city-state, Rothmanir. Although they do not trouble themselves with the problems of most other kingdoms, they are quick to combat evil in all its forms. They have a great love of the arts and of knowledge itself.

Diet

High Elves eat many leafy greens and vegetables, as well as the less heavy meats, like fish and poultry. They have been known to grow many different plants, some of which they cultivate for cooking and eating. Their botany benefits their diet by allowing them to grow food products that would not normally grow in the region around Rothmanir.

Interspecies Relations

High Elves have enjoyed peaceful, cordial relations with the kingdoms of Human-kind for millennia, but do not bother themselves with their problems. They are a peaceful race, though wary to engage in complex alliances, as they disdain the thought of being pulled into a war that is not their own.

While High Elves find Humans to be agreeable, and Dwarves mysterious and cultured, they tend to look down on the other Elven species, and on the field-dwelling Lepirians as well.

Magical Affinities

High Elves are known far and wide for their natural affinities with magic. Their increased intelligence allows them to focus and manipulate the arcane energies that flow across the world. The High Elves are a race where mages and wizards are revered, and where wisdom and magical experience go hand-in-hand.

Origins

High Elves are rumored to be the closest relatives to the ancient Proto Elves of ancient times. Some theorize that all of Elf-kind descended from these Proto Elves, but that High Elves are as close to the original as can be. The High Elves themselves enjoy such a notion, feeling to a degree that they are the epitome of Elf kind.
