With long lives and longer memories, elf culture rarely shifts across the decades. Cities built centuries past often contain twisting roads and arched canopy roofs. Current styles of clothing and jewelry often match those on ancient tapestries. The breadth of elven contribution to the arts, literature, and sciences is beyond measure, though these often come at a far slower pace compared to what other lineages produce.
With long lives and longer memories, elf culture rarely shifts across the decades. Cities built centuries past often contain twisting roads and arched canopy roofs. Current styles of clothing and jewelry often match those on ancient tapestries. The breadth of elven contribution to the arts, literature, and sciences is beyond measure, though these often come at a far slower pace compared to what other lineages produce.
'''Forest Elf'''
This ancient line of elves found fulfillment in embracing and tending to the parts of the world most teeming with life: forests and jungles. After all, plants only grow when the sun nourishes them. Although the light from a single star is not the same as a whole galaxy, forest elves believe that stewardship of nature is in a way caring for the life cultivated by starlight.
'''Mountain Elf'''
In an effort to reach the stars again, the mountain elves climbed the tallest mountain ranges they could find and made their homes among their crests; others made their way to the far north, curious about the dancing lights in the sky. These elves are skilled at surviving in brutally cold environments.
'''Plains Elf'''
Many elves were drawn to wide open plains and deserts where the sky stretched from horizon to horizon. Here, nomadic elven tribes hunted and gathered and built powerful connections with the herds of wild horses, camels, and the like that frequented these places. They also came into regular, and often bloody, contact with brutish raiders and brigands, perfecting the arts of open combat across generations.
'''Star Elf'''
The elven lines that deviated the least from their ancient origins are known as the “Sil”. They make their homes in both urban and rural areas, though on the whole they are not very common. Star elves are more skilled than other elven sublineages at celestial slumbering and can more easily sift through the sea of memories.
