Elf

Elves '''are the wisest and gentlest of races, and the main focus of the Nexlor Chronicles. Elves have pointy ears, are fair-skinned, and are around human hight, but usually taller than most. They also tend to have long hair, and cannot grow facial hair.'''

Description and Behavior
Elves are a species and the main focus of the Nexlar Chronicles. They resemble really fair skinned humans with pointy ears. Their hair is often times really light blonde or strange natural colors.

The Elf is based on emotional response in that certain things produce certain emotions that humans would never be able to feel. It is believed that one such feeling solidifies their bond with nature, and aversion to the modern world. Some emotions can even be considered a euphoria, in a way that a human would use drugs, but without impaired judgement.

Elves are considered the most beautiful of the humanoids, and are sought out by intellectuals, artists, and exotic travelers as there are not many in human population centers such as Trevelon.

They also hold a strong system of honor, and trust sometimes to the point of naivety. However their intellect is also considered higher than that of humans.

Another remarkable feature of the elves is their ability to retain vast amounts of knowledge. They use a larger percentage of their brains than humans, and are capable of using magic without aid.

History of Elves
Nexlor Elves first showed up in an area known as the "Hinterlands". It was in present day Land of Phantoms. From there they spread across the globe and founded the kingdom of Marlandia. When mankind evolved in the south of Marlandia, they grew to live in peace until mankind betrayed them and threw them out of their western homelands proclaiming "we were meant to live here, they can go back to where they came!"

After mankind took over the west and the southeast, Elves moved into the elven kingdom of Avalon. Some elves stayed behind, and lived in poverty under human control.

Many years later, elves lost their kingdom of Avalon, to the growing tribes of the desert (humans), who used the power of the Djinn. The humans however destroyed a lot of their cities, but left many ruins standing in which they carved out new ones.

Eventually most elves moved to Adalarn, but the Desert elves stayed in elf controlled desert.
