Elves

Elves are one of the three main races in Peurotsiil. They inhabit all of the empires with equality, and have little variation from empire to empire, but there are several sub-races of elves in Peurotsiil. On Darigyn, only wild elves are present, but they are in much greater numbers than on Peurotsiil.

High Elves
High elves tend to be the tallest and fairest of all the elf races, and are considered to be the epitome of elven beauty. In early times, High elves were carefully to not interbreeds with other races in order to preserve their physiological superiority. However, they began to die out and were forced to expand their social horizons in order to survive. This left few remaining lines of pure high elf blood.

Wood Elves
Wood elves are near identical to high elves, but are less tall and heavily built. As they spread from the forests along what is now the Arganian-Slongarian border, wood elves bred with both high elves and humans, diluting their gene pool and making them less elven in appearance. Due to this, not all wood elves have the distinguishing pointed ears that high elves do.

Dark Elves
Dark elves are of a unique breed. Their skin varies from light blue to near black. Dark elves have reddish eyes and tend to favor the colder regions of Peurotsiil. Unlike other types of elves, dark elves generally do not have pointed ears, and those that do tend to have a high elf ancestor somewhere up the line.

Wild Elves
Wild elves are believed to be distantly related to wood elves, but developed less of the traits that Peurotsiilic peoples tend to associate with elves. Wild elves have smaller stature than other elves, and are less human in appearance. Wild elves live across Darigyn in tribal communities, and have bred with orcs to create the Orcim
