Physical Characteristics
Elves are physically similar to Humans. They are on average slightly shorter and lighter. Their facial features are commonly much sharper than a human's and have pointed ears. Their eye color is most commonly green and their complexion is usually light, although this varies slightly by nation.
Cultural Characteristics
The three Elven nations have distinct cultures, but share some traits. As a whole the Elven race values pure blooded Elves much higher over half-Elves. All of their cultures are also tied closely to nature in some way. The interpretation of this differs from each nation.
Tyr
Elves from Tyr are followers of Demüen and hold much faith in their god. They tend to look down on other races and consider themselves superior in all aspects. They prize their appearance as is shown with their cities and lands. The forests of Tyr are magically shaped to give them the appearance of perfection. They are openly a slaving nation and considered one of the most brutal. Their culture is heavily based around rising in class status. Becoming powerful nobility is the ultimate goal for many families.
Issalon
Issalonian elves are considered the wild elves of Saratta.
Tashminé
The elves of Tashminé are followers of Pasquirn, but worship her in the form of purity and cling onto this dying belief. They have little respect for half-Elves and expel them from their society.
