Elves in Statera are an ancient and graceful race, closely attuned to the mystical energies of the world. They are divided into three distinct sub-races, each embodying different aspects of the natural and celestial realms.
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 can live well over 700 years, giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply, They are more often amused than excited, and more likely to be curious than greedy. They tend to remain aloof and unfazed by petty happenstance. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, elves can be focused and relentless. They are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance.
Elves have long been regarded as some of the closest allies to humans and numerous other mortal races. However, a recent shift in the geopolitical landscape of Statera has seen elves facing increasing prejudice and suspicion from certain factions. Rumors of ancient alliances questioned and misunderstandings about their magical abilities have led to tensions in some regions.
