ELVES

A long-lived race that many believe is the first race that appeared in the world. Once the most numerous race in the world, that honor has since gone to the humans, although there is no shortage of elves to be found. Whether living as nomads or in spaces of the forest, the long life granted to them gives them a sense of perspective. They tend to be hard to anger, easy to forgive, and actively mingle with other races, both romantically and platonically. However, on the flip side, if an elf is truly offended and the offender doesn't take steps to make amends, that elf can nurse a grudge for a very long time, and this race is nothing if not patient.

Elves are rarely ever together in a romantic way, and "pure blood" elves likely haven't existed for a long time. For some reason, the "mixed blood" rarely ever affects the child of an elf; beyond perhaps some colors to hair, skin, or eyes that they inherit from their non-elven parent, the child themselves is completely elven in every other way, including life-span. Because of this, there's no such thing as "half-elves." Occasionally, an elf's child may be the reverse of the usual -- completely their other parent's race with some (cosmetic only) elven traits such as coloration. These children have no chance of producing an elf child, though thanks to them, having elven blood in ancestry isn't unheard of -- though it is fairly rare that the elven blood is prominent enough to actually be useful.

Elves tend to worship Lalrynth, though a few do convert to other deities. Overall, they tend to be very open and accepting of other gods and don't mind hearing about them even if they themselves worship another.

Character creation wise, elves tend to have earthy colors for their eyes and hair and have sharply pointed ears. They also tend to run either much taller or much shorter than the humans.
