High Elves, as the eladrin are known, are normally the royalty of the elvish clans, and are treated as such whether or not they are in a position of authority. Clans of eladrin can be found secluded within elvish homelands, with individuals found throughout elvish society. They are considered the truest and purist form of elf, which can make them seem aloof and uncaring. The eladrin tend to intellectual pursuits, though perfection with the sword is considered a worthy goal. They are slender, with silver hair and amber eyes, or light gold hair with violet eyes. Eladrin like to dress in white, silver, or golden yellow, with cloaks of dark tones such as deep blue or purple shades.
Most high elves revere the elvish hero-deity that personifies the aesthetic philosophy they are most in tune with. Eladrin seek to exemplify grace, skill, and learning in every part of life.
