Elf

A humanoid race, the elves typically stand taller than humans, have slender, lithe bodies, large eyes, and pointed ears. During the Ancient Era, the elves were the dominant race of Antica and possessed several advanced civilizations.

Appearance
Elves are lithe humanoids that typically stand just over six feet in height. They have tall, willowy frames, thin faces with large eyes and straight noses, and long, pointed ears.

Elves mature at roughly the same rate as humans until around twenty-five years of age. At that point, their aging slows to about 1/5th of that of humans. Unlike humans, Elven women are only fertile for ten days every year, normally in the fall.

Elves possess senses sharper than humans. They're capable of seeing a drop of dew on a blade of grass from several feet away, and their ears can hear a conversation from two rooms away.

History
The history of the elves is an ancient one. Elven historians debate on which of their races has the oldest civilization. According to archaeological evidence, the city of Invarin in on the Tohthra Isles is older than the Khemis Empire. The Elven civilizations peaked during the Ancient Era, before the founding of the Taldian Empire.

Culture
Like humans, Elves have a diverse array of societies and customs, depending on their ethnicity. These range from the honor-bound, warrior customs of the Tiamrás to the more intellectual and artistic culture of the Osirrás.

Religions
The Elven religion tends to vary based on ethnicity and region.
