Elves

    Elves are tall, thin, and delicate. They average in height between 5'6" and 6'5".  They have a slight frame, and tend to have very delicate features.  Their pointed ears are what set them apart. 

    Elves live to be over 1000 years old. They mature slowly. This gives the elves a much different outlook on life. They live in cities, and take care of one another.  The main cities are located in the forests, however, elves don't mind living in other climates, and terrain's.

    The elven nations are located in the forests of Nerol, and Tanlana. The forest of Nerol is a very large forest located on the eastern side of the continent. Tanlana, is near the middle. The elves are not limited to living in these forests. There are many of them that wander the world, just to see the many wonders of it. Elves are often seen living in human and mixed cities, and visiting others. Their homelands though, are located in those two forests. Their cities in the forest are marvelously beautiful, and blend with nature, only adding to its beauty.

    Elves are often great artists. Their longevity, and the slow speed at which they mature, allows them to see things differently, and to find the words to describe the beauty that they see. Also, their closeness to nature helps them to see the full beauty of the world. Their poetry, literature, songs, and paintings often make men cry, even when the songs are sung in the elvish tongue. The elves are known for their great bow-making ability. They are also know for wonderful metal working. They make some of the finest jewelry, and THE finest chainmail known to the world.

     Elves have a magical nature to them. Many of them wield the forces of magic. Others say that their ease at learning the art of magic comes from their close connection to nature.

    Elves love the diplomatic arts as well.  They are often seen as being nosey, and wanting to control things, and having everything run their way.  The way the elves see it, is that they want the other nations to be at peace because of their strong love of life, and the living.  They will always try to talk something out before bearing arms against another.  They see wars as a very wasteful way of settling a conflict.  It not only harms the parties involved, but those that deal with those parties.
