Elves
Tall and lithe, Elves are by far possibly the most
beautiful race known to Realm, and also the most civilized, or at least
thats how they think of themselves. Other races beg to differ, especially
the Elves long standing enemies the Humans, who have, time and again, been
enslaved by the Elves.
The elven empire stretches across half of Realm and the capital city
is Karnish which lies on the Norinthern side of the Kuso mainland.
The current emperor is a young man named Key'Ann, who is well on his way
to his third centennial birthday.
The Elves are not one good terms with Humans, they
never were, many a Human remembers well when the Elves raided their lands
and enslaved their children. But of late there has been an uneasy
truce, and the air between the kingdoms of the Humans and the empire of
the Elven kind is filled with tension, there are rumors that Key'Ann wants
to get a messenger secretly to King Dankiran of Kandirk, but the
Queen
(Highest
ranking priestess of Peyitin.) Kira'Na would like nothing more then to
go back to war with the Humans. Currently there is much political
unrest within the Elven empire, and roving bands sympathetic to both sides
roam the country side looking for fight. Its not a good time
to take a holiday in the Elven empire.
Kira'Na, the current Queen of the priestess
hood of Peyitin is secretly buying up as much political support as possible,
and anyone who defies her is. . .made less obtrusive.
Since she can't wrap Key'Ann around her finger like she did his father
she opts for his elimination.
Nickname: Fop's
Character creation: Elves make excellent Archers, and they prefer nature magick above all the others, some Elves can be cold blooded to the core while others, though sharing the same views, absolutely faint at the site of a paper cut. Most Elves find anything that is not Elven "Distasteful" at best, they all have exquisite manners though, so maybe you wont know until its too late that you been insulted.
Appearance: All Elves are 6-7 feet tall at full height, their eyes are slightly slanted but very large and they have long pointed ears that fan out from the face (they don't go straight up like a vulcan thank you so much), eye and hair color may vary, be creative! There are so many colors in the rainbow.
Starting Stats: Elves start with a 3 in Willpower and Ability Points, they get 15 freebie points to use.
Life span: 1,500-2,000
Weakness: Elves have a forest affinity, when they are away for
too long they begin to feel profound feelings of homesickness, a player,
after spending more days away from the forest then he has points in Willpower
must make a willpower roll difficulty 6+ everyday after allotted time.
Once the difficulty reaches Ten it can go no higher but the feelings become
more urgent and the cool shade of the forest clouds the Elf's mind and
fills his thoughts with mossy green floors and large immortal oaks, a botch
will cause the Elf in question to loose his sanity until he is brought
to the forest of his homeland, then he must rest for as many days as he
was away from a forest.
