An elf (plural: elves) is a type of human-shaped supernatural being generally to have been thought of as beings with magical powers and supernatural beauty, ambivalent towards everyday people and capable of either helping or hindering them. Elves are magically powerful people living, usually invisibly, alongside everyday human communities. They have been associated with causing illness and with sexual threats, with some describing elves as attempting to seduce or abduct humans.
​
Elves possess unique and extraordinary abilities - keen intellect, superhuman physical agility and senses, and natural magical talents. Though not immortal (nor immune to physical injury), they live for centuries, gaining experience and Power as they age. Elves are also Lawful in nature. They are basically good, adhering to the ideals of personal freedom, fairness and generosity. However, they have learned to be cautious when dealing with other races in general and humans in particular.
​
Elves are fast and graceful, dexterous with their hands (making them amazing archers and light-arms fighters), and precise in their crafts. The typical adult elf is about three times as fast as a human. Though they do not practice the magic arts as humans do, all elves are able to sense power and resist magical attack or influence. These abilities do not require formal training, but are natural talents which increase as the elf matures and gains experience.
