As varied as the elves are in body and personality, they are generally respected for their wisdom and adventurous spirits. Though they live long lives by the standards of the other dominant lineages, they still greet their days with open-eyed wonder and ever search for new and exciting experiences. Their keen senses make them excellent trackers, scouts, and dungeoneers while their ability to touch the collective consciousness of the Celestial Sea pushes many to excel in more studious arts where the knowledge of the past can be directly built upon.

===Elf Culture===


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.

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.

'''Inter-Species Relations:''' Elves generally show the utmost patience with shorter lived races and hold many humans, kleppins, and [[urkou]] in the highest regard for their tenacity, energy, and ability to accomplish so much in such a short time. Still, they may show frustration in their dealings should they forget that not everyone can recall the experiences of ancestors centuries dead, leading to many mistakes often repeated.
