Elves are beautiful and mythical beings. They have delicate slender body, big expressive eyes, and their graceful and fragile features are extraordinary beautiful. Their most typical trait are their pointed ears and high cheekbones. On Felarya, their size varies a lot : some are human-sized, though slighty taller, some reach easily 90' in height.
Smaller elves form a peaceful race, who loves nature and beautiful things. They often try themselves in the arts of drawing, music or literature. They rarely mix with other races, considering them to be inferior, and in turn they are considered haughty and disdainful.
They live in forest or sometimes caves and are numerous on Felarya, though not in the zone of the map. They are excellent magic users, have incredible reflexes and are legendary proficient in ranged weapons... Actually less than nemesis but better not to say that in front of them.
Depending on their size, elves can be both prey or predators. Smaller elves find themselves confronted to a big problem : they taste incredibly good and once a predator have eaten one, it will usually try to catch some more. On the other hand, larger elves make frighteningly efficient hunters because of their heightened vision and hearing and their lightning reflexes.

Scarlet Elves
A giant species of elves living mostly in the jungle of perils and a few other places. Scarlet elves have slighty red skin and blazing red hair. They are extremely agile and can climb trees so fast it seem they are almost flying.
They are sometimes called "dancing elves" because the females seems to constantly dance when they move. This dance is fascinating and very erotic. An unaware male adventurer can find himself litteraly mesmerized by it, even though it don't involve any magic. The exact reasons of these "dances on the move" are unknown but they help greatly the elf to catch her prey. After a good meal, a female scarlet elf will also do a belly dance, sensuously undulating her body and caressing her belly, a ritual supposed to ease her digestion.
Unlike other elves, scarlet elves are not very good spellcasters. They are proficient at hand to hand combat though, and they all master a very powerful self-hasting spell that double their already incredible agility and speed. Needless to say this make them one of the most dangerous predator of the jungle of perils.
Mist Elves
Mist elves are a half-breed of elves and water dragons. They are called elves instead of demi-dragons because they take more physical features from their elven ancestors than their draconic ones. However they still take many attributes from their dragon ancestors. For instance, their bones are stronger than a normal elf's, and they have much better vision. Mist elves have great aptitude for knowledge and learning, but are very prone to passionate emotional outbursts. They are more able to care for others than their water dragon cousins and they are also less lethargic.
The average female height is about 100ft while the average male height is 120ft. They have long white purple hair, purple skin, and their eyes are either blue or green and, more rarely, crimson. Some mist elves also possess a tail but this is very rare. Males sport two horns on their brow as a reminder of their draconic heritage.
