Elf

Elves are a forest dwelling race of humanoids in Skeleton in Another World.

Background
Elves are a humanoid race. They are known for their fair features and longevity. Humanity jealous of these traits have persecuted the elves, hunting and enslaving their people. Ironically majority nobles in various human kingdoms are actually descended from elves. However these unions were not always out of love or even consensual. The elves were not only hunted out of fear but also for their powers and beauty. Elven women were sold to wealthy elite as slaves. Elven men are forced to mate with human women to produce children capable of magic.

Types of Elves

 * Dark Elf

Appearance
Elves are a humanoid race with elongated ears. Their hair color usually come in shades of green, but they do possess other colors.

Culture
While there were several different clans of elves, commonly elves have different naming conventions than humans.

Elves have three names that follow a fantastic naming convention:
 * Given Name.
 * Name of same sex parent.
 * Name of town you belong to.

Example: Ariane Glenys Maple = Ariane the daughter of Glenys from Maple

Elves are a patriarchal society, women are typically expected to remain at home and tend the hearth. However such traditions are becoming outdated especially among the dark elves, though a few staunch traditionalists exist in the central elven capital.

Abilities
Elves were renowned for devoting their long lives to improving their martial skills, as well as for their ability to wield powerful magic.

Trivia

 * As opposed to most elves in fantasy settings, the elves of Skeleton Knight In Another World do not hold prejudices against dwarves. On the contrary share a kinship with them due to the prejudice they also faced from humans.
 * Elves were generally good at sensing the presence of others easily able to overpower a regular human. Those elves that are captured by slavers are mostly children and the inexperienced.
 * The elves like the dwarves were originally the only races that were able to craft with mithril until the humans forced them to share the secret.
