Elves

The elves were the only PC race to have ever been immortal. They are immortal no longer and little is known about why they lost this gift other than it has been many tens of thousands of years since. The elves of Erothel are almost as expansive as the humans, although they are generally restricted to the various forests and woodlands. Before the Severance, the elven houses were very isolationist and avoided most contact with the other races that populated Drakitosh. Additionally, each house had a close association to 1-3 dragon ambassadors. Dragons had a natural affinity to elves since both races had a very great appreciation for the arcane. Elves and dragons would participate in cultural and magical exchange. This relationship did not excuse elves from slaying dragons, however. Competing houses would not hesitate to slay members of their rivals' dragonbroods should they find them. After the Severance, the dragons associated with the elven empires living in Ormiron were either slain by dragonhunters or retreated to the Dragonlands. Even the dragons associated with Elven houses in the north became distant for fear of betrayal. The Elven houses have now branched out and begun interacting with the other races.

Elven PC Background and Goals

 * As an Elf, you may wish to explore the world in hopes of unlocking great arcane secrets.


 * You may also wish to stop the other races from encroaching on your forests.


 * Perhaps you've set out with the goal of finding your house's historical dragon compatriots.


 * A more out of reach goal would be to discover a means of regaining your people's immortality.


 * Maybe your goal is to one day claim the position of an Elflord.


 * Elves also have a deep hatred and pity towards their fallen Drow cousins so you may wish to delve into the Hollowdeep and stamp out their tyrannical empire.
