acually i wrote a 4 page essay on elves for no reason at all. i'll try to sum it up here. my elves are between 6'2 and 7'. they are tan in complexion and of muscular bulid. they grow as humans do untill the age of 25, were their groth slows to a near halt. average lifespan is about 780 years. I also have 3 archtypes of elves the firist are the frost elves of the frozen forest of Emnag. they are the smallest and least known. the next are the night elves of Elmwake. they are taller than the frost elves and have very pale complextions. as you probably figured out, they are nocturnal.
the last, and best known type is the elves of antlerous and leijia. Antlerous is an island of forested mountains and lushus valleys. It is the home land of Kaius Arrowind, one of my main characters. It is also the home of many hunters and theives, which is how it earned the nickname " rouge state". Lejia is the royal provence of the elves. The three kinds have no contact with each other. Lejia is also home to the blue elf, the emperor. Currently that is Alkmir, son of Alkmin. He rules over leijia and anterous. Leijia is mosty plains with trees typically 300 ft tall.
The first elves where born of gialari, the mother tree, with was the first living thing to be born of the grey world, and in death, gave birth to all the plants of the realm. Yet gialari was burt to ash by the great dragon, born of ski, who i have yet to name. Feels good to get that off my chest.
