This day: Elves! [color=ed1c24]FUCKING [i]ELVES[/i]![/color] The Elves live on the continent of Straneyeth, along with the Dwarves and the Harpies, to a lesser extent. The Elves take up the eastern half of the large continent, the Dwarves the west, and the Harpies a 'line' through the north to the south. The common Elf, compared to Humans, are slightly taller, more lithe, and generally are more fragile and rely more on their natural magical talents. The Elves are divided into five groups: High-Men, the nobles, Low-Men, the commoners, Dark-Elven, and the Dark Elven has High-Men and Low-Men. High-Men are even more proficient with magic, most Arch-mages, (World-renowned magic users) have been High-Elven. Low-Elven are in general a bit stronger, but not to the extent of the dwarves, and nowhere near the Giants. 'Normal' Elven as they're commonly called, are more populous, at a rough 3/4ths ratio of the Elven population. All Elves work together in decent harmony, meaning minimal, yet still existing strife, is the norm. Full-out civil wars or revolutions are rare, but still happen on occasion. The pent-up frustration of the populace is generally found to come out more 'low-key', Elven cities and townships [i]do[/i] suffer from riots or strikes somewhat more often then Human or Dwarf ones. Elven Hunters, and general combat tactics, usually rely on fielded High-Elven casters being defended and supported by Low-Men, or in the case of Hunters, their allies. High-Elf casters are generally geared more for Vitae spells, but Exicus isn't uncommon. Elven offensive spells generally include things such as lightning bolts, waves of kinetic force, and telekinesis. Low-Men are generally trained for pike or halberd usage, and use that weapon types' range, versatility, and pure ease-of-use to their advantage. The Elves are lead by a council of ten 'Emperors' who rule over various 'Lords', who command each individual holding or outpost. Most of the higher-ups are Light Elves, but Dark Elves being lords or emperors isn't terribly rare. It's a quite direct and uncompromising rule, and any Lord who disagrees too much with their Emperor is generally exiled, or worse, executed. Soon to be editted in: The Giants!
