The second-oldest race of Anuris, the Elves are a dying people. Few children are born save for halfbreeds with the youngling Humans, and the Elves are rarely seen outside of the Twelve Kingdoms anymore. They draw people's attention no matter where they appear sheerly due to their rarity, and these appearances are often weighted with dire omens and portents.
