Elves

Elves are graceful protectors. In combat they prefer the use of bows to harry their enemies at a distance and their magic revolves around protection. The origons of the Elves is unknown althogh they are the oldest race in existance, it is belived they originated from winged beasts that once roamed the lands known as dragons. it is said they were imortal and this is why the elves live as long as they do, it also explains the ears. The last dragons were belived to be slain by great human ancestors.

Elven architecture features nature, rather than competing with it. The tree houses of Laurelin are some of the most stunning examples of this elven fusion.

Elves are the longest lived of all the races; the oldest recorded elf was Naunrai, Lady of Laughter, who lived to be one thousand and two elven years old (this is approximately four thousand and eight hundred Human Seeds or Orcish Seasons). Although they are the longest lived, they are also the least prolific of the races, only reliably fertile for the first five centuries of their lives and with elfesses only capable of conceiving ten to fifteen years after their last birth. This makes pregnant elfesses a very rare sight. And it is very unusual for more than two children to be seen together in the Holy Princedom of Malinor, as elves mature just as quickly as the shorter lived races, reaching the fullness of puberty in about two decades.....

Language
Despite a common misconception, the majority of elves have little understanding of Ancient Elven and have spoken the common language in Aegis for at least four centuries. Why the ancient tongue was abandoned has not yet been revealed, however it has been speculated to have been deemed an illegal language, thus explaining the difficulty scholars have had in piecing together the ancient language. While steps have been made to educate the next generation of elves on their language of heritage, pronunciation remains the most elusive element and may be the missing link in the forgotten practice of encouraging the growth of nature through whispered words.

Home Kingdom
The home kingdom of elves in Aegis is The Holy Princedom of Malinor.
