Elf

A humanoid race, Elves are shorter than humans and have a slender, lithe build and pointed ears. Long ago, the Elves had a proud civilization based around nature and magic. After the fall and the great city of Arlathan and generations of slavery at the hands of the Tevinter Imperium and Calormene Empire, the elves lost most of their cultural heritage and identity. Following the fall of the Tevinter Imperium, the freed Elven slaves established cities and kingdoms across Lordaeron and Calormen in an attempt to rebuild their forgotten culture. However, some of these kingdoms were either absorbed by the succeeding kingdoms or fell to barbarian tribes. Since then, their numbers have either existed in the few successful kingdoms, in the forests and/or deserts around Lordaeron and Calormen as primitive nomads, or as impoverished citizens in Human cities.
