Elves are a lithe, graceful people with slightly pointed ears and almond shaped eyes. They are intelligent and very sensual. Elven poetry is said to be the most beautiful in Ferdarchi. Despite their smaller bodies and weaker constitutions, Elves are very skillful fighters and are well renowned for their swordwork and bowmanship. Elves make their homelands in the deep forests throughout Ferdarchi and because of this and their natural agility, they often make excellent scouts and rogues. Although not as strong as humans, Elves have very dexterous fingers which they employ in the respected trades such as sewing and woodworking or the less respected such as lock picking or pilfering. Fascinated by beautiful things, Elves have always been deeply interested in magic and many are well respected healers and magi. Elves tend to be considered frivolous by other races, but their nature is one of joy of the world they live in and peace, playfulness, and happiness therein.
