High Elves

High elves are a race of tall, pale beings with golden hair, green eyes and long, pointed ears. Despite being capable of living for hundreds of years, they show very little signs of aging after the end of puberty, and never grow facial hair. They are adept at magic, and see their status as the first race of elves (and by extension, godborn beings) to arise as proof of their superiority. This ethnocentrism led them to stay in the plains while their relatives left, as well as creating a class system based on genetic similarity to the original high elves. They primarily live on the plains of the Eastern Continent, where the Great Elven Empire is based. They have a long standing feud with the dwarves of the Northern Continent.
