"And war broke out in the heavens;
Micheal and his angels fought against the dragon.
And the dragon and his angels fought back;
But they were defeated,
And there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
The great dragon was thrown down,
That ancient serpent
Who is called the Devil and Satan,
The deciever of the whole world, he was thrown down
To earth, and his angels were thrown down with him
-Revelations 12: 7-9

Welcome to the Holy Wars

Elves
An enigma with a history that predates most known mortal histories, the Daoine Sidhee have always been, and likely always will be. They claim to be the creation of an elvish gods tears and blood, which has given them near immunity to the aging that plagues mortals.

Elves tend to be slightly shorter than men (averaging about five feet tall) and proportionatly weigh less as well. They are fair of skin and usually have black hair and blue eyes.

Though not strictly Christian, elves are monotheistic any many scholars (on both sides) believe the elvish god Coreollan to be a representation of Christ who appeared to them somewhere in their ancient histories. Others believe them to be descended from angels. In either case, Elves are viewed as close allies and are welcome in most human cities despite the differences in religion. Since the beginning they have been perhaps the most capable of all those who stand against Satan to deflect his attacks. Though Germania has fallen, the tribes of Goblinkin and Damned have not been able to force their way into Gallia.

Some elves, however, have reportedly fallen like men into the clutches of the evil one. These elves, known as the dark elves, perhaps represent the greatest threat to the empires of God since the begining of the Holy Wars.

Elves are very coordinated and have great flexibility and speed (+2 DEX), however they lack the physical fortitude of men and are much more easily wounded (-2 CON). Elves are gifted with a natural resistance to charm and sleep spells, are naturally skilled with the longsword and all bows, have infravision, and can detect secret doors (all as per the PHB). Elves may be Fighters, Rangers, Mages, Druids, Thieves or Bards.
