Overview

Elves are members of one of the oldest space capable races in the known universe. They are often appear as distant and have an air of mystery around them as thes generally do not allow many members of other races to visit their core worlds and do not freely share their technology or knowledge. They are one of the most magically atuned races too and have mastered many fields of both technology and magic.

Physical Characteristics

• Elves are usually tall and of narrow and well proportioned build. They rarely seem to be gaining weight and spot much less curves then, for example, humans. While they look similar to humans, they are a fully different species.

Abilities & Strengths

• Their physiology often gives them a high level of dexterity and it is easy for elves to attain mastery in physical fields like acrobatics or running. The dexterity also makes them renown artisans and artists.
• Thenks to their atunment to magic, Elves are immune to magic sleep effects and benefit from a high resistance against enchantment spells and effects. However this effect is very dependant on the individual and their individual atumnment. Many elves actually even lack this ability outright.

Culture & Society

Elves are often seen as arrogant but in truth, they are actually secretive about their technology and abilities. The unknown and devastating attacks they suffered in the past made them hide their strength and abilities and often have a mistrust towards other races. They do not partake in the general galactic sharing of information and are not connected to the galactic data sphere.

Elves are known to be great artists and often posess great mastery in many different fields. But usually, an elf will be very focused on their special field they decided to study and reach mastery in. It is fairly rare for elves to switch away form a path they have taken.

Government

Elves have a constitutional monarchy with elected rulers.

Seats in the parliament are given based on merits and elves who reached enough mastery in any task and became known around the wider society, can be selected to serve on the parliament as well. This ensures that the parliament is fileld with people from all paths of life.

History

Data attack that hit the humans happened before already and it was targeted at the elves. It made the elves retreat from several worlds as treid to preserve their core empire. The expirience made them fortify their borders and give up parts of what they once owned.

It lead to various changes in the society and the separation of the dark elves away from the rest of the society.
