Elves
As mysterious as they Are Enigmatic, Elves are one of the few, “elder" races; Blessed with near infinite lifespans, bloodlines tracing all the way back to pre-biblical times. Elves are as wise as they are lethal. Elves walk the line of the mercy, indifference, and wisdom. They do not trouble themselves with the petty or the trivial things other races do. They outright refuse to get involved in most affairs they did not directly help to create. Preferring to deal in logical thought rather than deep seeded and usually misguided emotion. In combat Elves are swift and nigh accurate in all things. They typically prefer the extremes of combat, long range, or close encounters with daggers and swords. They fight only when all other options have been completely exhausted and typically don’t fight for sport.
Elves Longevity grant them the ability to discern a person’s intent beyond the level of a normal person, and more often than not, an Elven will know you're lying, long before you even admit it to yourself. Their peaceful nature, belies wisdom of untold dimension. This tends to give them more, prickly personalities, as most other races, seem slow or dull witted to them. Harboring little by way of emotions, They can be quite hard to grow close to. They also seek first and foremost matters of the mind, rather than the heart, but when they do mate, they mate for life. Like mourning doves, The loss of their partner often means, the survivors flame won't burn very much longer. In fact, the only emotion aside from these that they are known to show, is the hatred they carry for both the Dwarves, and especially their darker kin, the Druada.
