They are said to live in a village in the middle of Lephen Forest near Meary Lake. They live in large wooden houses that have wooden log walls, and clay roofs. They're wise, arrogant, kind, stubborn and bold creatures, making them very dangerous. They have perfect hearing, vision, taste, smell, and sense. Like their hated cousin, they hunt in groups. It is always a mix of women and men that with their gifts it is easy for them to bring home large game, or small.


Elf's, use all parts of the animal, that they kill, and there for you may see them wear robes of rabbit skin, or such things. To them, to not use all of the animal is a crime onto itself and brings them great dark luck.Elves are taught at a young age, to respect the forest and beings around them, and learn how to use a sword or arrow. They learn that they are the predator and others are prey. Though they also understand that they too can be prey, and must always remember to defend themselves to such things.


To keep order within the Elf community an elf is picked for his/her wisdom and placed the title of High Elf upon her/his head. He/she is responsible for the race and making sure proper fair punishment will be given to any who break their laws. All Elves respect their wise elder and do not go against him/her or question his/her judgment even if one of their loved ones may be put to death.


Not, saying it has never been done, there are some Elves who have gone rouge and have tried to assassinate the High Elf, or plot against him/her. It is found in any creature society good and evil dwell there. So, that saying there are good Elves and there are bad Elves.

Description



All Elf's are described as tall beautiful and young, with pale or ebony skin. Their eyes can be any color they wish. Ears are long and pointed. They have pink lips and some may have a rounded or narrow face.


The women have long hair with wooden crowns carved into Celtic knots on their heads. A small green gem is placed there, to show their loyalty to their goddess Metia. They wear a beautiful dress of light colors with v cut tops. They also usually wear slippers to match, or long boots depending on the woman.


The men also have long hair that is tied up into a ponytail and around their neck they wear a leather band with a green gem pendent to show their loyalty to their Goddess Metia. They wear a long sleeved different colored tunics. A long different colored pair of breeches; long boots match the whole out fit.


The children (girl/boy) have long hair and wear either the head piece or necklace. They, of course wear either sold color dress or tunic and pants of the color of their family. Boys, wear boots, and the girls wear slippers. (See in rules about playing children.)

In one of the ancient Katherinan scrolls protected by the Master of wizards, explains how Elf's were born into this world. Long ago in the year 300 BW (Before Windrum ruled) A very young Metia, who was beautiful, wished to bring wisdom upon the earth. So with the wisdom in her heart, the beauty from a morning star, and a kiss from her own lips, a small seed was placed within herself.


As time past and Metia's grew this creature within her own womb, and soon gave birth to twin beautiful elf, one female of long white hair, ebony skin and green eyes, the other of long golden hair, ivory skin and blue eyes. They had long pointed ears, and was gentle and soft. Metia, raised these elf as she called it as her own children, but soon the creatures grew to a point that Metia had to let them go.


This is where the race came from, a single birthing of her own womb. The elf's show their thanks to the goddess, by rituals of dances, and prayers of their own, songs many have written, and the green gem they wear on their heads or around their neck. It is a symbol of love and growth, and to them, Metia is just that.


 

 

The only enemy of the elf, are the Vampyre folk. Elf's do not like their cousins, for the simple reason Vampyres believe in the Mother Idelia. In the eyes of the Elf's, Idelia betrayed Metia, and went against her wishes and there for she is an enemy of the race.


Elf's see Vampyre folk who believe in such a traitor are not worth living upon the ground they walk on. They simply can not tolerate the race and there for stay away from them at all costs. Sometimes, on rare occasion some Elf's could not avoid such race and dealt with the Vampyres with a civil manner.


There have been recorded on scrolls wars have broken out between the races. Though, right at this moment peace is between them. This still doesn't stop the Elf's seeing Vampyre folk as their enemy.
