The Elves
Elves are the oldest and most graceful of the fantasy folk. Immortal and wise, they are skilled in both craft and magic, and they have a deep love for forests, stars, and song. They walk with a natural elegance, moving silently through woods or halls, their senses keener than most mortals can imagine.
