Elf

Elves are a race of people in Osreth.

Physical Description
Elves tend to have white skin, white hair, and ferret faces. Their features tend to be finely pointed. They often have pale eyes. Elven nobility often have narrow, pointed faces that get compared to weasels.

Elves often wear large amounts of jewelry in their hair, ears, and on the rest of their bodies, particularly their fingers. Elves often braid their hair.

White is an imperial color, and usually reserved for the ruling family, the Drazhada.

Abilities
Elves have prehensile ears, which often move in accordance with emotion, but can be controlled with practice.

Characteristics (culture, habits)
Elves principally reside in the Ethuveraz, or the Elflands, which is ruled largely by the elves, though the current emperor, Maia Drazhar, is half-elven and half-goblin, and goblins and those with goblin heritage also hold positions of power in the government, the economy, and the religious hierarchy. In the Ethuveraz, the principal language is Ethuverazhin. The Elflands have been notoriously hostile to all foreigners. Elves are a very religious people, and there are many followers of many different gods and goddesses.

“The art of dueling was no longer much practiced among the elves—the Varedeise emperors had disapproved of it wholeheartedly as something fit only for goblins—and it had never been taught to women at all.”

At least some goblins consider elves to be a cold people, with their focus on class differences, racism, and bureaucracy. Elvish society in the Ethuveraz has societal sexism favoring men, and homophobia, and goblins and those of goblin heritage face stigma and racism.

There were rumors in Amalo that werewolves were half-elven monsters, a curse, or the remains of an ancient people "driven underground by the advent of elves".
