The Elves
Elves are the same height as Kumbrith Men, but are much slimmer and have excellent outdoor night vision. Elves are famous mages and can be warriors, healers, scouts and troubadours, but for some mysterious reason are never clerics; those with classes are always multi-classed. There are two types of Elves: Wood Elves and High Elves. The Wood Elves are brown skinned with chestnut hair and mostly live in the forests, wandering from encampment to encampment. Wood Elves are more likely to be Neutral and only lukewarm in their support for the High Kingdom. High Elves are very pale with white eyes and hair. They prefer to live in villages, towns and castles. As their name implies, they consider themselves the elite of Elf society (even when there are more of them in a particular region, as is true in the Reach). High Elves are more likely to be Lawful and are usually strong supporters of the High Kingdom. Elves are very proud of their traditions and their Elvish language, using it in preference to Common whenever they can. The Wood Elf and High Elf dialects are completely mutually intelligible. Most Elves of the Reach live in the Principality of Elfdeep.
