Elf (Paloron)

Elves are a race of tall humanoids native to the ancestral land of Calendor, with a rich culture and history, their society having survived in the world of Paloron for hundreds of thousands of years.

Clouded origins
Little is known of the true nature of elves, except that the nature of their bodies is completely different to that of of most other races. Their biology is only siilar similar to that of the extinct hobgoblins and their descendants, the goblins.

As legend states: "Like the river, so was the elven kind, born in the top of the world and running down the mountains towards the sea, unrelated to the beasts."

That legend is part of the creation myth of the white elves, believed to be the most ancient of elvish ethnic groups. It is said that the spirits of the sky became corporal and evolved into them across countless ages, which is used to explain their talent in gathering the lifeforce of the land.

From the mountains
The written history of the race starts over three hundred thousand years in the past, with the white-skinned elves, self-proclaimed "high elves", and also known as snow/mountain elves, pale and with hairs in varying shades of gray (including silver) and white. Their brethren hails from the mountainous ranges of Calendor and are believed to be "the first breed of spirits to settle in the land, excelling at the healing of flesh". Reportedly, their first contact with another intelligent race happened 30 thousand years ago, with the dwarven tribes of the mountains
