Elf

One of the older of the Children of Gemdor, the elves come in two varieties: the southern elves, or the high elves, and the north elves, or the wood elves. The southern elves are a closed people compared to the relative gregariousness of their northern cousins. Divided by the Straight of Hederes, the two halves of the world each hold a race of elves. Before the Sundering of the World, the two races were one, but over time split.

The high elves live mostly in the sunny crystal city of Imindalyn on the shores of the sea.

The wood elves keep council in each of the old woods of the world, chiefly in the golden halls of Cyalimor of Estwood
