Physical Characteristics
With their unearthly grace and fine features, elves appear hauntingly beautiful to humans and members of many other races. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. They are more slender than humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. Males and females are about the same height, and males are only marginally heavier than females.
Elves’ 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. Elves have no facial and little body hair.

Elven Lands
Up until recent history, the elves controlled almost the entire continent of Eressea. Following the Dark Times the elves were relegated to the region Taur'na Duinath. The new elven capital is Tal'Onarafel.
Elven Religion
The Elven Pantheon are worshiped by many elves, though some continue to practice the old ways, such as nature worship and animism.
Elven Houses
The elves of Eressea can trace their lineage back thousands of years to seven elves, believed to be the first elves of creation, each brought into existence by one of the seven elven gods.
