Exploration and AdventureĮlves take up adventuring out of wanderlust. Human nobles compete for the services of elf instructors to teach swordplay or magic to their children. Their contact with outsiders is usually limited, though a few elves make a good living by trading crafted items for metals (which they have no interest in mining).Įlves encountered outside their own lands are commonly traveling minstrels, artists, or sages. They are talented artisans, crafting finely worked clothes and art objects. Elves hunt game, gather food, and grow vegetables, and their skill and magic allow them to support themselves without the need for clearing and plowing land. Most elves dwell in small forest villages hidden among the trees. But when the need arises, elves reveal a stern martial side, demonstrating skill with sword, bow, and strategy. They have been known to retreat from intrusions into their woodland homes, confident that they can simply wait the invaders out. They trust in diplomacy and compromise to resolve differences before they escalate to violence. Like the branches of a young tree, elves are flexible in the face of danger. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance. They are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, elves can be focused and relentless. They tend to remain aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance. They are more often amused than excited, and more likely to be curious than greedy. A Timeless PerspectiveĮlves can live well over 700 years, giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply. They favor elegant clothing in bright colors, and they enjoy simple yet lovely jewelry. Elves have no facial and little body hair.

Males and females are about the same height, and males are only marginally heavier than females.Įlves’ coloration encompasses the normal human range and also includes skin in shades of copper, bronze, and almost bluish-white, hair of green or blue, and eyes like pools of liquid gold or silver. They are more slender than humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. With their unearthly grace and fine features, elves appear hauntingly beautiful to humans and members of many other races. Elves love nature and magic, art and artistry, music and poetry, and the good things of the world. They live in places of ethereal beauty, in the midst of ancient forests or in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances waft on the breeze. Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, Dragons of Autumn TwilightĮlves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it. The elven city opened its arms lovingly to the wilderness. These glistening arches were the city’s only boundaries there was no wall around Qualinost. Crafted by ancient dwarven metalsmiths, they were strong enough to hold the weight of an army, yet they appeared so delicate that a bird lighting on them might overthrow the balance. Graceful arches, swooping from spire to spire, soared through the air. The companions stood on a high cliff over the fabled city of Qualinost.įour slender spires rose from the city’s corners like glistening spindles, their brilliant white stone marbled with shining silver. The day’s march had been difficult, but the reward at the end was beyond their dreams. “I have never imagined such beauty existed,” Goldmoon said softly.
