Elves have always been a part of many stories, where some say they can live for several hundreds of years while others claim they are actually immortal, and they are known to possess deep knowledge of magic and the history of the realm they live in.
They are slenderly built, often beautiful by human standard, and very dexterous, and all of them have trained in archery and melee combat, and they are capable of performing great feats as well as executing complex strategies on the battlefield.
Numerous fantastic deeds were performed by some of the members of this intriguing race, from inventing their own spells to succeeding where none other could, making Elf names known, names like Cioran Acornvale, Nerria Larethiath, and Otaehryn.

These majestic and all but magical humanoids, who seem to be shrouded in mystery, are able to live for a long time, while stories say they are even immortal. Their deep knowledge of all kinds of magic is so vast and potent that they have long been creating their own spells, spells that have also protected their grand cities and forests for thousands of years. Think about where the character was born, what kind of a community they’ve been raised in, what are some values and beliefs they now hold firm, is there anything or anyone they would like to become, and think of a name worthy of all the wisdom that surely awaits them on the long road called life.
