Elves

Elves are calm and wise. They prefer their own continent, but have spread into cities and villages of other races across Zemla. There are two main types of elves, High and Wood.

High Elves are vastly more common of the two. Their hair, skin, and eyes are in the same range of colors as humans, with metallic colors also possible and darker shades infrequent. They are frequently skilled artisans and wizards. They have integrated into almost every court among the other races and are usually considered the elite of society by everyone, especially themselves. High Elves do not associate with Wood Elves if they can help it, and consider Wood Elves to be more contemptible than even Half Elves (Half High Elves, because even the gods know that Half Wood Elves are the dregs of any society).

Wood Elves live in secluded communities in the foresttops of Zemla, particularly concentrated in Pipantor and Arlenai. Their skin ranges in shades of brown, copper, bronze, and green; their hair is usually a related shade of their skin; and their eyes are shimmery metallic pools. They do not often leave their forest homes, but when they do it is generally for the good of their community. They are skilled hunters and rangers. The few wood elves living in cities and villages are frequently farmers, butchers, and other skilled laborers.
