Elves life the longest from all the creations of Quintra and Denday, they can live up to 1200 years. On average they are the same length or longer, but more slender then humans. The tallest elf is much longer than humans are, easily being a head taller than a large human would be. There most distinguished feature apart from their height and slender build are their pointy ears and slightly rotated eyes.
They are not really more intelligent than humans are, they simply have and take more time to learn skills and study. Because of this they seem to have superior knowledge on many topics and are sometimes considered to be arrogant by the other races, but they actually aren’t. The elves are actually pretty gentle, patient and kind. Because they live so much longer than the other races they have learned to overlook the prejudice of others. Elves do take pride in their discipline which is also shown in their abilities to fight, especially the elven armies are well known to be one of the most skilled on Eonil.
Originally the elves were the keepers of knowledge, appointed by the twin goddesses themselves to gather and document knowledge. Nearly all the knowledge gathered by the elves sadly was destroyed during the age of darkness.
The elven hierarchy is more symbolic and status driven. There are elven noble families but they got the title because of their status and the responsibilities they have. Often an elven family is granted the title of nobility if they are found worthy because of the deed they have done like an act of heroism, or saving a lot of elves for example. The most influential of the elven nobles form a council that decided elven matters when needed. Most elven nobles certainly cannot be seen as poor, but elves tend to not see wealth as an important thing, merely a tool to get the things done. Since elves amongst themselves trade way below the prices that items are worth many of the elves live in luxury. This is another reason why they are often seen as arrogant by other races who think their lifestyles to be a bit extravagant and sometimes even posh.
There are different types of elves, most notable the high elves and the wood elves. Technically speaking they aren’t different races, but their culture differs and they have separate councils. High elves live in cities and grasslands, while the wood elves have retreated to the woods. This is why wood elves are less commonly seen to a point where the common non elven person doesn’t know there are wood elves at all. They also wouldn’t be able to see the difference between a wood elf and a high elf, while the elves amongst themselves nearly see the other as a different race.
