Elves

Elves ("Uilenne", in their own tongue), are a species much less prominent around the world than other races, and in recent times occasionally thought to be extinct. The elven species, being an ancient race, is found subdivided in cultures, societies and leftover splinters of their former empire, which once spanned vast majorities of Neuvalon.

Often larger and older than humans, elven individuals vary in size, age and appearance; in large part dependant on their ancestry and culture, and will often seek to achieve the strengths their respective culture values. One may still find strongly recurring tendencies throughout their race, despite this.

Biology
Elves hold a distinctly different physique to humans, alongside other less noticeable differences. They tend to be easy to distinguish from a human, due to the unique traits they hold in both appearance and behavior.

Ranging between 1,8 - 2,2 meters in height for males and averaging 1,7 - 1,9 meters for females, elven individuals tend to be both larger and stronger than humans, their physical capabilities generally exceeding them in both strength and dexterity.

The average lifespan of an elf averages 300-400 years, assuming death by natural causes. Males usually averaging younger, due to death in military service.
